## Summary

A drone attack caused a fire at the Khor Mor gasfield in northern Iraq on Sunday night, suspending production and cutting gas supplies to power stations. The strike left more than 70 per cent of the semi-autonomous Kurdish region without electricity, disrupting essential services and prompting officials to prioritise power for hospitals and water treatment plants.

Officials said the lost generation amounted to between 2,500 and 2,800 megawatts, while security sources estimated the grid’s capacity fell by 70 to 80 per cent. No casualties were reported in an initial assessment, and Iraq’s prime minister ordered a joint investigation; responsibility for the attack remains unclear amid heightened regional tensions.
