An explosive drone struck Khor Mor gas field in the Sulaimaniya region of northern Iraq on Thursday, two sources told Reuters, saying the explosion had caused limited damage but no one had been injured.
Earlier, the Kurdish Rudaw media network said the counterterrorism apparatuses in the Kurdistan Region shot down and destroyed a suicide drone targeting the US-led coalition forces near Erbil International Airport.
The media network did not immediately provide details but reported that a loud sound was heard in the vicinity of Erbil.
Last Wednesday, the Iraqi Al-Nujaba TV said a drone targeted US forces at the Erbil airport base.
Since Israel's war in Gaza began in October, Iraq has witnessed near-daily drone and rocket attacks by Iraqi armed groups mostly on bases housing troops belonging to the US-led military coalition in response to Washington’s support for Israel.
Also, in mid-January, Iran fired 11 ballistic missiles at civilian targets in Erbil, killing a prominent Iraqi businessman and two members of his family and wounding several others. It claimed the missiles targeted spying facilities run by the Israeli Mossad.
