BAGHDAD, July 17 (Xinhua) — A bomb-laden drone carried out the second strike of the day on a U.S.-run oil field in northern Iraq's Kurdish Autonomous Region on Wednesday evening, the Kurdistan Regional Government's Ministry of Natural Resources said.

The attack took place at 19:10 local time. The drone hit an oil field operated by a US firm in the Baadre area southeast of the city of Dohuk, the statement said.

The shelling caused material damage, but there were no casualties. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
