Recent drone activity across Iraq has intensified, marked by targeted strikes against Kurdish opposition groups in the north and infrastructure facilities. In northern Iraq, Iranian drone operations have resulted in approximately nine deaths since July, with additional strikes reportedly launched by Iranian-backed militias near Mosul. Simultaneously, the Khor Mor gas field in the Sulaymaniyah province was targeted by a coordinated wave of drone attacks early Tuesday. As Iraq’s largest gas field, the site holds estimated reserves of 8.2 trillion cubic feet.
In a separate incident in western Iraq, an unidentified drone crashed within a residential complex near the Haditha Dam in Anbar province. While Iranian state media initially identified the aircraft as a United States surveillance drone, Iraqi security agencies have stated that the origin of the vehicle remains unknown. These events reflect a period of heightened aerial activity and security instability across multiple regions of the country.
