A drone struck the Khor Mor gas field in Sulaimaniyah, Iraqi Kurdistan, on the evening of Sunday 8 November, causing a fire and halting production. No group has claimed the attack.
The Kurdistan Regional Government's electricity ministry spokesperson, Omid Ahmed, told Gulf News that generation capacity fell by about 2.8 GW. He said gas supplies to power stations serving five major urban centres were disrupted.
Al Jazeera reports that more than 70 per cent of northern Iraq's Kurdish region is without power.
Investinglive says Iran or allied Iraqi militias are suspected. That attribution has not been confirmed. The outlet also reports that the strike came hours after Trump said renewed US strikes were "highly unlikely" if talks progress.
According to Investinglive, the field feeds regional power generation rather than exports, so the direct effect on global supply is limited.
