(March 15): Iran and allied Iraqi militia groups denied attacking the Lanaz oil refinery in northern Iraq, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported, citing an unnamed military official.

The Lanaz refinery in the northern Iraqi city of Erbil suspended operations while a fire caused by a drone strike is extinguished, Reuters reported earlier on Saturday.

The halt will last until the extent of the damage caused has been assessed, Reuters said in a report published in Arab News, citing provincial officials it didn’t identify.
