> A drone attack on the Khor Mor gas field in Iraq’s Kurdistan region halted production and disrupted electricity supplies. The strike hit a gas storage facility in Sulaimaniyah governorate, causing a fire and black smoke. Kurdish authorities said 2,500 to 2,800 megawatts of generation went off the grid as emergency measures were launched to avert a total blackout.
