A rocket strike has targeted the Khor Mor gas field in the Kurdish region of Iraq, resulting in significant disruptions to the local power supply. The attack has left most of the area without electricity, raising concerns about the stability of energy infrastructure in the region.
Authorities have stated that this incident is part of a series of attacks on energy infrastructure in the Kurdish region. While no group has yet claimed responsibility for the strike, some regional officials have privately suggested that Iran-affiliated militias may be behind the attacks. This pattern of violence has raised tensions in the region and highlighted the ongoing security challenges faced by the Kurdish authorities.
The strike on the Khor Mor gas field has not only caused immediate humanitarian concerns but also has implications for the broader energy security of Iraq. The disruption of power supplies has affected both residential areas and critical infrastructure, raising questions about the resilience of the region’s energy systems.
