ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq - The Kurdistan Region has submitted a detailed report of damages caused by drone and missile strikes to Baghdad and is awaiting compensation for the victims, the regional government’s interior minister said Tuesday.

Since the resumption of the US-Israel war with Iran in late February, the Kurdistan Region has come under more than 1,000 drone and missile attacks.

In April, Iraq’s Council of Ministers approved the allocation of funds to be disbursed to the families of the dead and wounded of recent military attacks on Iraqi territory, “including victims in the Kurdistan Region.”

Interior Minister Reber Ahmed said they have now submitted a “comprehensive and detailed report to the Federal Government, and they are currently awaiting the commencement of the compensation process.”

Drone and missile strikes have killed 32 people and injured 154 others across the Kurdistan Region, according to information obtained by The New Region. 

Iraq’s Oil Minister Basim Mohammed Khudair said Saturday the Iraqi government has agreed to provide compensation to oil companies if the attacks are proven to have come from Iraqi territory.

Scores of drones were launched by pro-Iran militias within Iraq during the US-Iran war, but the minister said most of the attacks have been launched from outside Iraq "anonymously".

“Regarding the protection of energy infrastructure, the Iraqi Government has decided to install an advanced defence system at all oil fields and petroleum installations,” Ahmed added.

The Kurdistan Region's energy infrastructure has been a main target of drone strikes from Iran and its allied militias for years, reaching unprecedented rates following the 12-Day War in June 2025 and the more recent conflict which started in late February.

The offensives have led to numerous operation suspensions in recent months, reducing oil and gas production and contributing to electricity and fuel shortages across the Region.

Earlier in June, Baghdad and Erbil reached an agreement aimed at protecting oil companies, ending attacks targeting them, and supporting the resumption of production and exports to boost the economy.

In an interview with Al Jazeera on Sunday, Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani said the attacks had made it difficult for oil companies to return to the Region for investment and to resume operations, adding that they were only able to return after Baghdad made assurances.
