Dana Gas, the UAE-based joint operator of the Khor Mor gas field in Iraqi Kurdistan, has confirmed that production is halted after a suspected drone attack. The company told Reuters on Monday 9 November that it had put out the fire and that no staff were hurt, Newsbeep reports.
Dana Gas said it was now assessing the damage.
Tom Barrack, the US ambassador to Turkey, has condemned the attack, according to byteseu. No group has claimed responsibility.
Newsbeep reports that power supplies were severely disrupted, with over 70% of the Kurdish region affected. That is in line with the figure Al Jazeera gave earlier. The Kurdistan Regional Government's electricity ministry had said generation capacity fell by about 2.8 GW.
