Khor Mor fire from 'suspected drone attack' under control but production remains halted: Operator

Iran or the Iran catspaw Iraqi Shiite militia? The same root, either way.

[Rudaw] Dana Gas, the UAE-based company operating Kurdistan Region's Khor Mor gas field, said Monday the fire that broke out in the field following a Sunday overnight attack was caused by a "suspected drone attack." The blazes have now been extinguished and no injury was recorded among personnel, the company said.

"Dana Gas (PJSC) informs the market that the Khor Mor facility in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq was subject to a suspected drone attack on the night of 8 November 2026, which caused a fire. The fire has since been extinguished and there were no injuries to personnel," Dana Gas said in a statement.

The company also said gas production at the field, which feeds the majority of the Kurdistan Region's electricity grid, remains suspended as it continues assessing the damage.

The field's gas storage and truck loading unit, which stores approximately 1,500 tons of cooking gas across 170 tanker trucks, suffered an attack from an unknown project on Sunday evening, sources told Rudaw, after more than four months of calm.

The Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) Electricity Ministry said the shutdown would reduce the Region's electricity generation capacity by 2,800 megawatts, underscoring the immediate impact of the attack on the Region's energy infrastructure.

"The Company is coordinating closely with the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Federal authorities, who have shown strong support," Dana Gas added.

Iraq's prime minister Ali al-Zaidi ordered the formation of a joint committee with Kurdistan Region's authorities to investigate the attack that he described as "heinous."

Hodhod Yemen News adds:

Two sources, quoted in a report by Reuters, at the Kurdistan Region’s Ministry of Electricity said a single drone struck an LPG storage tank at the facility, setting it ablaze. The fire was still raging following the attack, while smoke was seen rising from the site in Sulaymaniyah 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.

He added that the ministry would provide electricity to critical facilities, such as hospitals and water treatment plants, by operating hydroelectric power stations and

The Khor Mor gas field is located in Chamchamal district in Sulaymaniyah province and is one of the most important gas sources for power plants in Iraq’s Kurdistan region. The field has been targeted repeatedly by rocket and drone attacks in recent years.
