İHA Saldırısı Kor Mor Doğal Gaz Tesisindeki Üretimi Tamamen Durdurdu

Natural gas production at the Kor Mor doğal gaz sahasına insansız hava araçlarıyla (İHA) saldırı düzenlendi, causing operations to be suspended entirely after Kormor Gaz Tesisi’ne İHA ile saldırı düzenlendi.

The facility, which supplies a significant portion of the energy needs for the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, is operated by the United Arab Emirates-based energy company Dana Gas and is located in the Chamchamal district of the Sulaymaniyah governorate.

According to security sources speaking to Reuters, production halted following the strike, while a facility engineer reported that the drones targeted the gas storage section and smoke rose from the area. Iraqi press reports suggested the attack involved three drones, with employees directed to shelters amid the risk of further strikes. IKBY Electricity Ministry Spokesperson Umeyd Ahmed stated that natural gas shipments to five power plants in Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Baziyan, Chamchamal, and Duhok were cut, resulting in an expected drop in electricity production between 2,500 and 2,800 megawatts.

Authorities planned to activate hydroelectric power plants at the Dukan and Derbendihan dams alongside alternative fuel facilities to reduce supply losses, prioritizing critical points such as hospitals and water facilities. Officials noted that if gas shipments resume, electricity supply could gradually return to normal starting from the afternoon hours of Monday, November 9.

Earlier Attacks on the Energy Infrastructure

The critical energy facility has faced similar assaults in the past. An attack in April 2024 resulted in the deaths of four Yemeni workers, while another strike in November 2025 similarly forced gas production to stop and triggered widespread power outages across the region.

No Group Claimed Responsibility for the Recent Drone Attack

As operations remained suspended following the latest incident, no group had claimed responsibility for the recent attack, and official statements had yet to clarify who deployed the drones.
