Drones Hit Oil Fields in Northern Iraq in Spree of Attacks

Multiple oil fields in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region in northern Iraq were attacked by drones on Wednesday, adding to a spate of hits on energy installations in the area this week.

A majority of oil companies in the region suspended production after the attacks, according to the Association of the Petroleum Industry of Kurdistan. The Kurdish region lost nearly 200,000 barrels of oil production as a result, an official said in a social media post.
