Drone attack targets Khor Mor gas field in Iraq's Kurdistan region

A drone attack targeted the Khor Mor gas field in Iraq's Kurdistan region, security sources told Reuters, with smoke seen near the facility after the strike. According to reports, about 2,800 megawatts of power generation capacity was lost following the attack.

No further details were immediately available on the extent of damage, possible casualties or whether operations at the facility were halted.

The Khor Mor gas field is located in the Chamchamal district of Sulaymaniyah province and is one of the most important gas sources for power plants in Iraq's Kurdistan region.

The field has been targeted repeatedly by rocket and drone attacks in recent years. A drone attack on the field on Nov. 26, 2025 caused a fire at gas storage facilities and halted operations, leading to widespread power outages in parts of the Kurdistan region.

According to Mehr News, no group had immediately claimed responsibility for the latest strike, and the extent of the damage remained unclear.
