US condemns drone attacks on oilfields in Iraqi Kurdistan

The US State Department on Wednesday condemned recent drone attacks targeting oilfields in the Iraqi Kurdistan region.

Security sources said earlier in the day that an oilfield operated by US company Hunt Oil became the latest site in a series of attacks in recent days.

“These strikes target international companies that are working with Iraq to invest in Iraq’s future,” said department spokesperson Tammy Bruce, who called the attacks a threat to Iraq’s stability and economic future.
