BAGHDAD (Reuters) -A drone attack targeted an oilfield operated by Norwegian oil and gas firm DNO in Tawke, in the Zakho Administration area of northern Iraq, on Thursday, the Kurdistan region's counter-terrorism service said.

Tankers could soon be lifting Iraqi oil from the Turkish port of Ceyhan once again as a key pipeline reopens. The government said exports will resume from Kurdistan despite four days of mysterious drone attacks on oil fields that have shut down half of the region's production.
