Attack on Iraq gas complex, cuts supply: authorities

SULAYMANIYAH: An Emirati-owned gas complex in Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region was attacked on Sunday, disrupting the gas supply to the region's power plants, local Kurdish authorities said.

"At 11:00 pm (2000 GMT), the Khor Mor gas field came under a terrorist attack," the regional natural resources and electricity authorities said in a statement, without elaborating.

A Kurdish security source told AFP that an "explosive-laden drone" hit the field.

The Khor Mor complex, which supplies most of Kurdistan's power stations and is owned by the United Arab Emirates firm Dana Gas, has been hit several times in recent years.

Omed Ahmed, the regional electricity authority spokesperson, said the attack against Khor Mor halted the gas supply.
