Khor Mor gas field drone attack disrupts Iraq Kurdistan power

Khor Mor gas field Kurdistan Region drone attack energy crisis Dana Gas

A drone attack on the Khor Mor gas field in Iraq’s Kurdistan region has suspended gas production and triggered a major energy emergency. The strike, which occurred late Sunday night, reportedly targeted an LPG storage tank, causing a fire at the facility located in the Sulaymaniyah governorate.

The attack has significantly impacted the regional power grid, knocking between 2,500 and 2,800 megawatts of electricity generation capacity offline. This disruption has left more than 70 percent of the Kurdistan region without power, cutting off gas supplies to power plants serving Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Bazian, Chamchamal, and Duhok.

To mitigate the energy loss, the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Ministry of Electricity is utilizing hydroelectric power from the Dokan and Darbandikhan dams and other plants running on alternative fuels to prioritize critical infrastructure, such as hospitals and water treatment plants.

No group has formally claimed responsibility for the attack. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has ordered the formation of a joint investigative committee with Kurdish authorities. According to initial assessments, there were no casualties resulting from the strike, and employees were evacuated to on-site shelters.
