Two drones ​hit the BP-operated ⁠North Rumaila oilfield in southern Iraq on Saturday (April 4, 2026), wounding ‌three Iraqi workers, security and ‌energy sources said.

The ‌attack ⁠took place shortly ⁠after another drone hit storage facilities west of the ​port ‌city of Basra that belong to foreign oil companies, the sources ‌said.

The drone strikes ​had no impact on operations ⁠in this part of Iraq’s giant Rumaila oilfield, ‌as they targeted an equipment storage facility, said two Iraqi engineers working at the field.

Foreign ‌staff were evacuated following ​an earlier drone strike on the ⁠oilfield, sources told Reuters ⁠last month.
