Overview

• Explosive drones struck five oilfields this week—Khurmala, Sarang, Tawke, Peshkabir and a Hunt Oil site—bringing production to a halt in each location.
• More than 200,000 barrels per day of output have been suspended as foreign companies assess material damage and plan repairs.
• Regional security sources attribute the unmanned assaults to Iran-backed militias, though no group has claimed responsibility.
• Baghdad and Erbil have traded accusations over security lapses and oil revenue control, intensifying their ongoing political dispute.
• The Kurdistan government condemned the attacks as terrorism and U.S. officials have warned that further strikes could undermine Iraq’s economic stability.
