ALBAWABA - An explosion at the Sarsang oil field in Iraqi Kurdistan caused a halt in production, Reuters reported on Tuesday.
According to sources, the blast didn't cause injuries.
AFP said that a drone strike forced a US company to suspend operations at the oil field. The Kurdistan Regional Government revealed the Sarsang oil field in Duhok province was targeted by a drone, denouncing the strike "an act of terrorism against the Kurdistan Region's vital economic infrastructure".
The American company operating the oil site, HKN Energy, said the blast occurred at about 7:00 a.m. at one of its production facilities.
