About

The Khor Mor gas field, located in Iraq's Kurdistan region, is a significant energy infrastructure asset. It is newsworthy due to a recent rocket attack that caused widespread power outages across much of Kurdistan. This attack, occurring in late November 2025, is the latest in a series of strikes targeting energy infrastructure in the region. Some regional authorities have privately attributed these attacks to Iran-affiliated militias. Following the attack on Khor Mor, riots erupted in Erbil's Gwer area, resulting in at least one fatality and several injuries when a group opened fire on fuel tanker trucks. The incident highlights the vulnerability of the region's energy supply and the potential for instability following such attacks, underscoring the field's relevance to regional energy security and political stability.
