The Khor Mor gas field in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region was attacked on Saturday, less than 24 hours after a report that the Iran-backed group Kataib Hezbollah had made comments about the facility, with no official attribution of responsibility.

Abu Mujahid al-Assaf of Kataib Hezbollah criticized Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and said the group does not want “to open the files of (Khor Mor) and the incitement to target it for the purpose of extorting the United Arab Emirates (UAE).”
An unidentified projectile struck the facility's gas storage unit and caused significant damage. A field source told Rudaw it was not possible to determine whether the attack came from a drone or a rocket and that the strike caused a “massive fire”.
According to the Jerusalem Post, Iran has carried out more than 1,000 drone and missile attacks on the Kurdistan Region since February.
