An overnight rocket attack on one of the largest gas fields in Iraq caused major power outages across most of the country’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region on Thursday, local authorities said. The strike at Khor Mor gas field in the northern Kurdistan region came shortly after midnight and was the latest in a string of drone and rocket attacks targeting Kurdish-run oil and gas infrastructure in recent months. Prime minister Mohammed al-Sudani condemned the strike as an “attack on all of Iraq,” but Iraqi authorities have not publicly said who they believe to be behind the attacks. Privately, Iraqi and Kurdish officials have blamed recent attacks on local militias aligned with neighboring Iran. The militias have previously been accused of attacking U.S. interests in Iraq, and could see Kurdistan, which has close economic and diplomatic ties with Washington, as a lower-level target.
