At least eight Katyusha rockets were fired at the Khor Mor gas field in Iraq's Kurdistan region on Wednesday, but the attack did not result in casualties or affect the operations, sources said.

The rockets fell in the vicinity of the field, security and local Kurdish sources told Reuters.

Khor Mor is in the Sulaimaniya region of northern Iraq and was attacked previously.

“The attack didn’t result in any casualties, and operation is normal within the field. Investigations are ongoing by security forces at the moment,” Lawk Ghafuri, Head of Foreign Media Affairs for the Kurdistan regional government said on Twitter.

At least eight Katyusha rounds were fired from the launcher, which carried 12 rockets. Four unfired rockets had been found inside the launcher, said the local commander.
