Explosive-laden drones have struck three oil fields in Iraq’s northern Kurdistan region, according to Kurdish forces.
The attacks come just a day after a similar strike forced operations to cease at a US-run oil field, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.
“At 06:00 and 06:15 (0300 and 0315 GMT) two explosive-laden drones attacked” the Peshkabir oil field operated by the Norwegian oil group DNO, and at 7:00 am (0400 GMT) a similar drone struck the Tawke field in Zakho district,” Kurdistan’s counterterrorism services said.
“Another attack at 7:14 am (0415 GMT) targeted a US-run oil field in Dohuk province. There were no reported casualties.”
