BAGHDAD, July 16 (Reuters) – A drone attack struck an oilfield operated by U.S. company Hunt Oil in the Iraqi Kurdish city of Dohuk on Wednesday, security sources said.

It was the latest in a series of attacks on oilfields in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region in recent days. It also marked the second attack on the same field, Ain Sifni, on Wednesday.
