For third time in days, Kurdistan’s gas field came under attack
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The Khor Mor gas field, in the Sulaymaniyah governorate in the Kurdistan region of Iraq (KRG), was hit on Saturday with a rocket attack for the third time within days.
Four Katyusha rockets landed near the facilities of the Emirati Dana Gas company in the Chemchemal district in the Sulaymaniyah Governorate in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, causing no casualties, according to what was published by the Al-Hurra website.
On Friday, a Katyusha rocket targeted employee housing of UAE energy firm Dana Gas (DANA.AD) in Sulaymaniyah, landing in the company’s Khor Mor gas field.
“The attacks that targeted the Khor Mor gas field oil and other areas are targeting the stability of the country and a blow to the national economy,” the Iraqi President, Barham Salih, said on Twitter, condemning the attack.
Salih called on the national parties to unite and support the security authorities and stand firmly against these attacks, in order to consolidate the authority of the state and the rule of law.
It is worth noting that the source of attacks is still unknown, and no party has claimed responsibility for them.
