ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Khor Mor gas field in Sulaimani province was attacked late on Thursday, a local official told Rudaw. No casualties have been reported. A security source told Rudaw’s reporter Peshawa Bakhtyar that the Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) plants of Khor Mor, a key gas field operated by the UAE-based Dana Gas in Chamchamal town, Sulaimani province, has been attacked. No casualties have been reported among the staff working in the field. Ambulances and fire fighting units were dispatched to the location of the attack, a local official told Rudaw. It remains unclear whether the attack was carried out with drones or rockets, according to the official. In August, the gas field was attacked with two Katyusha rockets. A local official then told Rudaw that the rockets were fired from Tuz Khurmatu district, striking a location near to the place where the company's employees were resting. This comes as the Kurdistan Region is under barrages of drone attacks by Iran-backed militias targeting military bases housing US troops. Iran-backed militia groups have claimed responsibility for the majority of drone strikes, in retaliation to Washington’s support for Israel in its war against the Gaza Strip. Khor Mor field produces 452 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, according to Dana Gas.
