Part 6/13:
In Iraq’s Kurdish region, recent drone strikes have ignited urgent questions about regional security. A U.S.-operated oil field in Kurdistan was hit by a drone attack, igniting a fire that temporarily suspended operations. The strike followed a similar attack in the previous days, signaling a coordinated effort by Iran-aligned militias under Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF). Kurdish officials have condemned the attack as terrorism against vital economic infrastructure, demanding Baghdad strengthen its control over armed groups operating within its borders.
