Multiple drones attacked a northern Iraq fuel warehouse linked to British oil and natural gas giant BP, a firm operating the facility said.
No casualties were reported.
The attack on the motor oil warehouse occurred in Irbil, the capital city of Iraq’s semiautonomous Kurdish region, the Sardar Group, a major automotive group in Iraq, said in a statement. It said the facility is owned by Castrol, a subsidiary of BP.
The statement said the first drone hit the facility at 7:20am, before it was attacked again with two more drones while firefighters were combating the fire.
The attack started a massive fire that sent a column of black smoke into the air, social media footage shows.
