A drone attack on the Khor Mor gasfield in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq has drawn attention to the security challenges facing the country’s energy sector, amid escalating regional tensions and domestic political disagreements over restricting weapons to state control. The attack in Sulaimaniyah governorate late on Sunday sparked a fire and forced the suspension of gas supplies to several power stations, initially reducing electricity generation in areas administered by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) by between 2,500 and 2,800 megawatts, according to regional officials.
