KIRKUK - An attack Sunday night caused an explosion in the vicinity of a key pumping station on Iraqi Kurdistan's oil export pipeline, just four days after a rocket struck near a refinery complex in Erbil.
In comparison to other recent attacks on or near energy infrastructure, Sunday's incident has been kept unusually quiet: the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has not publicly acknowledged it, and several government and security officials said they had not heard about it.
