ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq – Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani on Thursday strongly condemned the strike on Sulaimani province’s key Khor Mor gas field as “an attack on all of Iraq” during a phone call with Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani. 

“During the call, the Iraqi federal prime minister strongly condemned the attack on the Khor Mor gas field, considering it an attack on all of Iraq,” the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) said in a statement. 

A “joint investigative committee” will also be formed to begin working “as soon as possible to identify, arrest, and bring the perpetrators to justice,” the statement added. 

A strike targeted the key Khor Mor gas field in Sulaimani province late Wednesday. The UAE-based Dana Gas, the field’s operator, said the following day that the liquified petroleum gas (LPG) section was “struck by a rocket attack,” causing no injuries but shutting down production.

The New Region understands that a high-level Iraqi security delegation is en route to the Kurdistan Region to monitor investigations into the attack and meet Kurdish security officials. 

The Kurdistan Region’s natural resources and electricity ministries said the field was targeted by a drone strike, with power supply across the Region slashed by 80 percent and electricity production down to 1,000 MW from 4,000 MW.

An electricity ministry source told The New Region on Thursday that a meeting between both ministries is underway to assess the damage caused by the attack and “resume gas production as soon as possible.” 

The attack also disrupted power delivery to the provinces of Nineveh, Kirkuk, and Salahaddin, Iraq’s electricity ministry told The New Region on Thursday.

Earlier on Thursday, Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani urged Washington to provide Erbil with defense equipment to prevent such attacks from repeating.

“The usual terrorists or whoever may be behind tonight’s attacks cannot be allowed to repeat these crimes or be released on bail, as in the past,” Prime Minister Barzani stressed, urging Baghdad to “find the perpetrators and bring them to justice.”

The Khor Mor field is the main producer of the Kurdistan Region’s electricity, with natural gas reserves of around 1.8 trillion cubic feet. It is operated by Dana Gas, which, alongside affiliate Crescent Petroleum, agreed to a deal with the KRG in 2007 to develop the Region’s gas capacities.
