Iraqi police said at least four Iranian drones struck areas northeast of Erbil
early Tuesday, hitting Halifan and Soran districts; fires broke out and two
drones crashed near targets. U.S. forces flew more than 10 warplanes and drones
over Erbil in response. Iranian state media IRIB reported the Khor Mor gas field
in Sulaymaniyah province was also attacked at roughly the same time; Khor Mor
holds about 8.2 tcf of gas and is Iraq’s largest non-associated gas field. IRIB
said the timing was broadly simultaneous with explosions reported in Erbil,
roughly 200 km away.
