A drone strike targeted the Khor Mor gas field in Iraq’s Kurdistan region late Sunday, cutting gas supplies to power plants and sharply reducing electricity output, regional authorities said, according to Anadolu Agency.
The regional electricity ministry said the disruption had taken about 2,800 megawatts of generating capacity offline.
Initial reports indicated extensive damage and a halt in production at the field, which is in the Chamchamal district of Sulaymaniyah province.
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Falih al-Zaidi ordered a joint investigation with authorities in the Kurdish region, the country’s Security Media Cell said.
The cell said preliminary information indicated that there were no casualties.
