Drone reportedly strikes Khor Mor gas field near Sulaymaniyah, Iraq

Disputed · Erbil, Iraq ·

Multiple Telegram channels and wire-relayed reports say a drone struck the Khor Mor (Kormor) gas field in Sulaymaniyah Governorate, Iraqi Kurdistan, around 20:00 UTC on 8 November 2026, with smoke and fires visible in video. A Reuters-attributed report citing security sources and an Iraqi security source say production stopped at the field. Attribution differs: OSINTWarfare calls the drone likely Iranian and Defender Dome calls it a possible Iranian strike, while WarFront Witness says Iraqi militia groups were likely responsible; WarFront Witness also reports roughly 3 GW of power lost from the grid, which no other claim confirms.

Verification

Disputed: 12 independent sources.

Verification describes the available evidence, not certainty that an event occurred.

Sources contradict each other about whether it happened, where, or what it was. That does not make it false, and it does not mean either side is right.

Sources disagree on:

What we know and what remains unclear

Each detail the reports give, by how many independent origins reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. Confidence in the event is not confidence in each detail. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
