| 2022-06-26 |
| [Rudaw] At least one rocket struck Khor Mor gas field, operated by the UAE-based Dana Gas in Chamchamal district of Sulaimani, a security source from the field told Rudaw, marking the third such attack in under a week. The gas field was targeted by a Katyusha rocket which landed near a warehouse of the field, much like the previous two attacks on the field, the source said on the basis of anonymity. No casualties or injuries have been reported so far, the source added. Meanwhile, ...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth had turned a paler shade of blue. Star-A-Star had struck again... Rudaw news hound Peshawa Bakhtiyar said that it is unclear whether the attack came from a rocket, but the alarm system was rung in the field. The scale of the damage is still unclear. Iraqi President Barham Salih condemned the rocket attacks on Khor Mor gas field later on Saturday, saying they are "targeting the stability of the country and targeting the national economy." This is the third such rocket attack on Khor Mor gas field in less than a week, with the field having been previously targeted on Wednesday and Friday. On Friday, the gas field was targeted by at least one rocket which caused a fire to break out but reported no casualties or injuries. A Katyusha rocket struck the field on Wednesday, slightly injuring two contractors. Khor Mor field produces 452 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, according to Dana Gas. The Kurdistan Region has been facing an unprecedented number of rocket and drone attacks since the beginning of the year, mostly blamed on Iran-backed militias. |
