Iraqi oil field on fire after drone strike during attacks in Kurdish region
BAGHDAD -- An oil field in Iraq 's Dohuk province was set ablaze Tuesday after being struck by a drone. It is the latest in a series of similar attacks launched recently against oil facilities in northern Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdish region. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. The attack came the same day Iraq signed an agreement with the oil field's operator, U.S.-based HKN Energy Ltd., for investment in a field at another location. HKN Energy confirmed in a statement that 'an explosion occurred' Tuesday morning at one of its production facilities in the Sarang field in Dohuk province. 'All personnel have been safely accounted for, and no injuries have been reported,' it said. 'However, the facility remains on fire, and emergency response teams are actively working to contain the situation.' It said the cause of the explosion was under investigation and that operations were suspended. The recent attacks have heightened tensions between the central government in Baghdad and regional Kurdish authorities. The strikes have caused material damage but no casualties. The Kurdish region's Ministry of Natural Resources said in a statement that Tuesday's explosion was caused by a drone strike and that it came after an attack on the Khurmala oil field, in Irbil province, on Monday. The ministry said it "strongly condemns and denounces these acts of terrorism against the Kurdistan Region's vital economic infrastructure.' The Kurdish regional government urged the federal government to 'take all urgent and necessary measures to prevent the repetition of such attacks, identify the parties responsible, and hold them accountable.' The U.S. embassy in Baghdad also issued a statement condemning the recent attacks. 'The Government of Iraq must exercise its authority to prevent armed actors from launching these attacks against sites within its own territory, including locations where Iraqi and international companies have invested in Iraq's future,' it said. Iraq's Prime Minister Mohammad Shia al-Sudani met with the vice president of HKN Energy on Tuesday during the signing of a preliminary agreement for investment in the Hamrin oil field, in Salahuddin province. Earlier this month, the Kurdish regional government accused the Popular Mobilization Forces — a coalition of Iran-allied militias that are officially under the control of the Iraqi military — of carrying out drone attacks. The Iraqi army said the accusation was 'issued in the absence of evidence' and said it could 'provide hostile parties with justifications to undermine Iraq's stability.' Iran-backed armed groups have periodically attacked U.S. bases in Iraq and Syria. During last month's Israel-Iran war some of them threatened to target U.S. interests and bases in the region if Washington got involved.

David Hogg-backed candidate eyes upset in Democratic congressional primary
A 25-year-old social media influencer and progressive activist is hoping to follow in Zohran Mamdani's footsteps by pulling off a stunning, come-from-behind victory in a high-profile Democratic Party congressional primary. Deja Foxx is the youngest of the five candidates running in Tuesday's primary in the race to fill the seat of the late Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva of Arizona, who died in March from complications related to cancer treatment. The winners of the Democratic and Republican primaries will face off on Sept. 23 in a special election to serve the final 15 months of Grijalva's term in Arizona's 7th Congressional District, a heavily blue district that stretches from Tucson to Yuma and includes almost the entire length of the state's southern border with Mexico. Rep. Raul Grijalva Of Arizona Dead At Age 77 "This moment calls for more than a politician. You deserve a fighter," Foxx said in a social media post. "This is more than a campaign. This is a movement. This is a fight for our future." Foxx, who went viral as a teenager for confronting then-Republican Sen. Jeff Flake over the issue of reproductive rights, enjoys the support of gun-control crusader David Hogg, who recently stepped down from his position as a Democratic National Committee vice chair after upsetting party leaders for his efforts backing primary challenges against what he called "asleep at the wheel" older, longtime incumbents in safe, blue districts. Read On The Fox News App Head Here For The Latest Fox News Reporting On David Hogg Hogg, who campaigned with Foxx this past weekend across the district, predicts she will "make history in Southwest Arizona." Additionally, he compared her surging poll numbers in the final days of the primary campaign to that of Mamdani, the 33-year-old Ugandan-born state lawmaker who topped former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and nine other candidates last month to win the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City. Similar to the New York City mayoral primary, the contest in southern Arizona will be viewed by many political pundits as a barometer of where the Democratic Party is headed as the party deals with longstanding divisions between its establishment and outsider, and progressive and moderate wings. The frontrunner in the race appears to be 54-year-old former Pima County Supervisor Adelita Grijalva, who is the daughter of the late congressman. She enjoys the backing of some of the state's top Democrats, including Sens. Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, state Attorney General Kris Mayes and former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Grijalva is also supported by two top progressive champions – Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York – who both backed Mamdani in the New York City mayoral primary. Former state Rep. Daniel Hernandez is also contending for the nomination. He's well-known in Arizona for helping to save the life of former Democratic Rep. Gabby Giffords during a horrific 2011 shooting in Tucson, when he was serving as an intern to the congresswoman. But Giffords endorsed Grijalva in the primary race. Indigenous activist and scholar Jose Malvido Jr. and former healthcare executive Patrick Harris Sr. are also running for the Democratic nomination in the majority-Hispanic district where Democrats outnumber Republicans by a nearly two-to-one margin. More than $2 million has been dished out to run ads in the Democratic primary, with some of the money coming from outside groups. Contractor and small business owner Daniel Butierez, restaurant owner Jorge Rivas and general contractor and vehicle accessory business owner Jimmy Rodriguez are vying for the Republican congressional nomination in the district. Polls in the district close at 7 p.m. local time, which is 10 p.m. ET, and no results will be released until an hour after the polls article source: David Hogg-backed candidate eyes upset in Democratic congressional primary
