Rocket strike causes fire at Khor Mor gas field

Rockets hit the Khor Mor gas field Monday night for the fourth time in two months, highlighting a major, unresolved threat against a strategically important project that provides the vast majority of feedstock for Iraqi Kurdistan’s power plants.

At least two rockets struck within the Khor Mor perimeter and one of them landed near a warehouse, which sustained minor damage, according to security and industry officials. The rockets sparked a grass fire that firefighters later extinguished, one industry official said.
