Operator confirms fire is out while damage assessment continues
Dana Gas said on November 9 that the fire following the suspected drone attack at Iraq’s Khor Mor gas field had been extinguished and no staff were injured. Production remained suspended pending damage assessment, with no restart timetable provided. Reuters reported that the Kurdistan Region’s electricity ministry attributed about 2.8 gigawatts of lost generation to the attack. Because the field supplies regional power plants, extinguishing the fire does not establish that gas deliveries or electricity generation have resumed. The timestamp records Shafaq News’s publication, rather than when the fire was extinguished.

Joint inquiry ordered; initial assessment reports no casualties
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi ordered a joint investigation with Kurdistan Region authorities into the Khor Mor gas-field attack, Shafaq News reported, citing his security media office. The office said initial reports indicated no casualties; that assessment remains preliminary. Reuters separately reported that the attack halted gas production at the field, which supplies regional power plants. The announcement adds an investigative response and preliminary information about human impact to the previously reported supply disruption; it does not establish responsibility for the attack. The timestamp records Shafaq’s publication, rather than the order’s exact time.

Gas interruption disrupts electricity generation in Iraqi Kurdistan
Production at Iraq’s Khor Mor gas field stopped on November 8 following a drone attack, Reuters reported, citing regional electricity-ministry sources. The ministry reported losing about 2.8 gigawatts of electricity generation. The field supplies gas to regional power plants, explaining how a production halt disrupts electricity supplies. The gigawatt figure measures lost generation; it does not establish how many households lost service or how long interruptions will last. Reuters reported no claim of responsibility.
