Drone attack suspends production at Iraq's Khor Mor gasfield

Will Gulf states join war? A drone attack on the Khor Mor gasfield in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq has caused a fire at the facility and cut power to the region, according to Iraqi and Kurdish officials. The Sunday night attack left more than 70 percent of the Kurdish region without power. Al Jazeera's fact-checking agency Sanad has verified footage of smoke and flames rising from the vicinity of the gasfield in the Sulaimaniyah governorate. Omid Ahmed, spokesperson for the Kurdistan Regional Government's Ministry of Electricity, said the attack suspended gas supply to power plants in the cities of Erbil, Sulaimaniyah, Bazian, Chamchamal and Duhok, the official Iraqi News Agency (INA) reported.
