Drones struck three oil fields in Iraq's Kurdistan region, with attacks occurring over the course of a week. Targets included the Peshkabir and Tawke fields, operated by Norway's DNO, and a Hunt Oil site in Dohuk. Preliminary assessments show material damage but no reported casualties. Security sources suggest these drone strikes originate from areas controlled by Iran-backed militias, reflecting ongoing regional proxy struggles between Iran and the United States, including tensions over oil exports between the central government and Kurdistan authorities.
