Two ​drones ‌hit the BP-operated North Rumaila oilfield ⁠in southern Iraq ⁠on Saturday, 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.
