An overnight rocket attack struck the Khor Mor gas field in northern Iraq, causing widespread power outages across the Kurdistan region. The incident is the latest in a series of assaults on Kurdish energy infrastructure, which local authorities privately attribute to militias aligned with Iran. While no group has claimed responsibility, the attack has heightened tensions between Kurdish authorities, the federal government, and regional militias, some of whom hold political power in Baghdad. The strike comes just days before the United States is set to open a new consulate in Kurdistan, raising concerns about further instability and the security of vital infrastructure. Kurdish leaders have renewed calls for international support to bolster their defenses, but face obstacles from Baghdad, which controls approval for military equipment purchases.
