Drone attacks on Iraqi Kurdish oil fields have caused damage and temporary suspensions of operations at several facilities. No group has claimed responsibility, but the attacks have heightened tensions between the Kurdish regional government and the central government in Baghdad. While the Kurdish government blames the Popular Mobilization Forces, an Iran-backed militia, the Iraqi army denies involvement. An oil expert says the attacks won't significantly impact global oil prices, though the companies operating the fields will suffer losses. The attacks follow a recent escalation in regional tensions.
