Iraqi Kurdistan will resume oil exports through a pipeline to Turkey after a two-year halt, Iraq's federal government said on Thursday despite a fourth day of drone attacks that have shut down half of the region's output.

It is clear where the drones are being directed; they consistently target the center of the Kurdistan Region's economy,” Minister Ahmed stated during a press conference in Erbil.

The Iraqi government announced Thursday an agreement to resume crude exports from the autonomous Kurdistan region after a more than a two-year halt and amid drone attacks on oil fields.
