Drone Attack on Khur Mor Gas Field in Iraqi Kurdistan Repelled

security sources reported that Iraqi security forces fired at a drone Sunday evening to prevent it from reaching the Khurmor ‍gas‍ field in the Kurdistan Region ​of Iraq.

Iraqi ‌defence‍ systems activated as a drone approached the Khurmor gas ⁢field, one of Iraq’s largest, according to security sources cited by webangah News Agency. ⁣It remains unclear whether the drone was shot down. During the incident, alarms sounded at the site adn workers were relocated to secure ⁢areas.

The attack reportedly ‌caused no damage.

The ‌Khurmor gas ‌field lies​ between‌ Kirkuk and Sulaymaniyah and is managed by the Kurdistan Regional Government. The field has been ⁤targeted multiple times in recent years with no⁢ group‍ claiming obligation.

Kurdish regional ⁤politicians‍ have previously condemned these attacks.Last⁢ April, ​a drone strike killed four Yemeni workers⁤ at this site. In January 2024, two Katyusha rockets were also fired toward the⁣ gas field.
