Unconfirmed footage and reports indicate a drone attack on the Khor Mor gas field in the Chamchamal district of Iraq's Kurdistan Region, according to the Conflict Intelligence Team, which posted the material on Telegram on 8 November 1. The group described the footage and reports as unconfirmed.
Al Jazeera reported that more than 70 percent of the Kurdish region of northern Iraq was without power after a drone struck the Khor Mor gas facility 5. The outlet's account appeared in a live blog on the wider regional conflict.
The Conflict Intelligence Team later relayed an announcement from the Kurdistan Regional Government's Ministry of Electricity. The ministry said electricity production had been reduced by 2,800 megawatts after the strike on the Khor Mor Oil & Gas Plant 2. The figure comes from the ministry as relayed by the monitoring group, and it has not been independently verified here.
The group also posted that another attack had targeted the Khor Mor field in Sulaymaniyah Governorate, without giving further detail 3. It is not clear from the material whether this refers to a second strike or a further report of the same incident. The group additionally said Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi had ordered a committee to investigate the strike 4. That claim rests on a single post.
Khor Mor is described in the reports as Iraq's largest producing non-associated gas field. No damage assessment has been published, and no deaths or injuries have been reported.
The incident comes amid a series of reported attacks across the region in recent days. These include a reported missile attack and damage to a tower in Riyadh on 8 November, Saudi interception claims against Houthi missiles, and reported US strikes in Iran's Hormozgan Province. Several of these reports remain unconfirmed. Nothing in the available material links them to the Khor Mor incident.
