ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) announced on Wednesday that it has halted gas exports to power plants across the Kurdistan Region following a drone attack on the Khor Mor gas field in Sulaimani province.
In a joint statement, the KRG Ministries of Natural Resources and Electricity said specialized teams are in direct communication with Dana Gas, the operator of the field, to assess the impact of the incident and begin efforts to restore normal operations.
The ministries noted that the temporary suspension is a precautionary measure to ensure safety and to evaluate any potential damage caused by the attack. They emphasized that work is underway to stabilize the situation and resume gas supply to power stations as soon as possible.
