Drone attack hits Khor Mor gas field in Iraqi Kurdistan

On Sunday, November 9, 2026, the Khor Mor gas field in the autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan was targeted by an explosive-laden drone. The attack occurred at approximately 23:00 local time, causing smoke to rise over the facility and forcing an immediate halt to operations at the site. The field, which is managed by the UAE-based company Dana Gas, is a critical energy hub that supplies the majority of power plants in the region.

According to regional authorities responsible for natural resources and electricity, the incident has resulted in a significant disruption to gas supplies for power generation across the region. Omed Ahmed, a spokesperson for the regional electricity authority, confirmed the interruption of the energy supply. While no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, the Khor Mor facility has been a frequent target of similar strikes in recent years. Authorities have characterized the incident as a terrorist attack, though no immediate information regarding casualties or the extent of physical damage has been released beyond the operational suspension.
