A drone filled with explosives hit an oil area in an oil area in the northern Kurdistan region of Iraq on Thursday, Kurdish forces said-Norwegian-operated site and second attack on two days.Kurdistan’s anti-terrorism services said, “A new attack was carried out by an explosive-laden drone at 10:55 am (0755 GMT), which was said by the DNO-operated Tawke Field, Kurdistan’s anti-terrorism services in the Zakho Disit.No casualties or damage occurred.Similar attacks on Wednesday forced the Norwegian firm to suspend operations in Tawke and Peshkabir oil areas.One and two attacks targeted an oil field operated by American firm Hunt Oil in Duhok province.In the last few weeks, Kurdistan has seen a part of the unclaimed drone attacks, which have come in Baghdad as regional government and federal officials, working on the control of export revenue from regions of Kurdistan.Many oil areas of the region have been killed in a week interval.Association of the Petroleum Industry of Kurdistan (Epicur) – which represents international oil firms in the region including DNO and Hunt – condemned the attacks on Wednesday.It states that most of its members have suspended production, “a total of 200,000 barrels per day”.Stricked by long struggle, Iraq often experiences such attacks, often associated with regional proxy struggles between Iran and the United States and its ally Israel.There is no claim of responsibility for any attack in the previous week, and Baghdad has promised an inquiry to identify the culprits.But a Kurdish officer, who requested oblivion, blamed the recent attacks on the popular mobilization forces-a alliance of formerly pro-paramilitary supporters in Arabic-was now unified into regular armed forces.AFP said on Wednesday, “We hold the Iraqi government responsible because they are funding PMF, which is attacking the infrastructure of oil.”
