ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq – A suspected drone targeted the Kurdistan Region’s key Khor Mor gas field, its operator, UAE-based Dana Gas said Monday, adding that production remains suspended while the damage is assessed.

Khor Mor, located in Sulaimani province’s Chamchamal district, was targeted in a “terrorist attack” late Sunday, according to a joint statement from the Kurdistan Region’s ministries of electricity and natural resources.

“The Khor Mor facility in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq was subject to a suspected drone attack on the night of 8 November 2026, which caused a fire. The fire has since been extinguished,” Dana Gas said in a statement, adding that no injuries were reported.

“Production remains suspended while the damage is being assessed,” it added.

Omed Ahmad, spokesperson for the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) electricity ministry, said the production halt is expected to reduce electricity generation on the Region’s grid by 2,500 to 2,800 megawatts.

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi ordered the formation of a joint investigation committee with Kurdistan Region authorities to investigate the attack, his office said early Monday.

“The Company is coordinating closely with the Kurdistan Regional Government [KRG] and the Federal authorities, who have shown strong support. Further updates will be provided to the market in due course,” Dana Gas said.

Khor Mor is the Kurdistan Region’s largest supplier of gas for electricity generation.

The UAE-based energy company has been grappling with the regional consequences of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Khor Mor has been repeatedly attacked, forcing staff evacuations and halting production.

The field was also attacked in November 2025, halting production and reducing the Region’s electricity generation by 80 percent for several days, from 4,000 MW to 1,000 MW.

The strike was strongly condemned regionally and internationally, with the KRG appealing for air defense systems to protect the key facility – the largest of its kind in the Kurdistan Region.
