The U.S. Consulate General in Erbil on Tuesday strongly condemned the recent drone attacks targeting oil infrastructure in the Kurdistan Region, calling the assaults a violation of Iraqi sovereignty and a threat to the country’s economic stability.

In an official statement, the Consulate said, "We condemn the recent drone attacks on Iraqi oil fields, including the July 14 and 15 attacks on the Khurmala and Sarsank oil fields, which are vital to Iraq’s infrastructure.” The statement emphasized that such actions undermine Iraq’s ability to attract foreign investment and called for those responsible to be held accountable.

The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) also confirmed that a drone strike targeted the Sarsang oil field in the Chamanke district of Duhok province on Tuesday morning, but did not report casualties.
