The rocket landed near the gas complex in northern Iraq on Saturday, which is the third in the last 72 hours, without any casualties or material damage, we learned from local officials.
The unidentified attack targeted the Kor Mor gas complex, owned by the United Arab Emirates-based Dana Gas energy company, Sediq Mohammed, head of the Kadr Qaram district near the complex, told AFP.
The gas field is located in Kirkuk, between the cities of Sulaymaniyah, an area controlled by the authorities of the Iraqi Kurdistan Autonomous Region.
“The rocket (Katyusha type) fell about 500 meters from the complex. It did not suffer, did not damage the facilities, “said Mr. Mohammed.
The anti-terrorist services of the Iraqi Kurdistan province of Sulaymaniyah confirmed in a press release that there were no casualties or damage.
The same gas complex was targeted by two unconnected rocket attacks on Wednesday and Friday, again without any casualties or material damage.
In recent weeks, hydrocarbon exploitation sites in Iraqi Kurdistan have been the target of unidentified rocket fire.
In April-May, it was the Kawergosk refinery in particular, one of the largest in this oil-rich Kurdish autonomous region, located northwest of the Iraqi Kurdish capital, Erbil.
