SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq — A
Katyusha rocket struck Saturday near
an Emirati-owned gas complex in Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region without
causing damage or casualties, local officials said, the third such attack in 72
hours.

The rocket targeted the Khor Mor gas complex, owned by
UAE energy company Dana Gas, said Sediq Mohammed, an official from the adjacent
Qadr Qaram district.
"The rocket hit around 500 meters (yards) outside the
complex," he said.
There was no immediate claim for the attack.
Counter-terrorism forces in Kurdistan's Sulaimaniyah
province confirmed there had been no casualties or damage to the complex.
The gas field lies between the cities of
Kirkuk and Sulaimaniyah.
Unclaimed Katyusha rocket attacks targeted the same complex
on Wednesday and Friday, also without causing casualties or damage.
Energy infrastructure elsewhere in the autonomous Kurdish
region has also come under attack in recent weeks.
In May, there was minor damage following a rocket attack at
the Kawergosk refinery, northwest of the regional capital Arbil.
In April, three rockets hit near the same facility — one of
the largest in the area — with no casualties or damage reported.
