United Arab Emirates-based Dana Gas reported on Thursday that production had been suspended after its Khor Mall facility in Sulaymaniyeh province, eastern Iraq’s Kurdistan region, was “hit by a rocket attack” late Wednesday. The company confirmed that “no injuries to employees were recorded.”
According to local Kurdish media, Dana Gas reported in a statement that a “liquid storage tank at the Holmall facility” was “hit by a rocket attack,” adding that “no personnel were injured.”
“We have suspended production at our facility to extinguish the fire and assess the situation,” the company said in a statement. “We continue to coordinate with local authorities and further updates will be provided to the market in due course.”
Kurdistan Region Chief Nechirvan Barzani on Thursday condemned the attack as a “terrorist” act and called on federal authorities to step up efforts and “punish the perpetrators of this crime.”
