Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi has called for a joint inquiry after reported explosions and smoke at the Khor Mor gas facility following a new round of drone strikes. The Iraqi leader directed the formation of a committee involving the Kurdistan Region to examine the targeting of the field in Sulaymaniyah province, where production operations were suspended after the projectiles struck a storage facility.
The renewed strikes follow an initial attack on Sunday that knocked nearly 2.8 GW of electricity from the Kurdistan Region’s grid. The facility is the largest gas field in Iraq and provides more than 80% of the power for the regional grid, which typically generates about 4,000 to 4,200 MW. Although some security sources suggest Iran is responsible for the strikes, no group has officially claimed responsibility.
