"Event [13] reports a terrorist attack on the Khor Mor gas field disrupting power supply. This is a parallel report to the new event, describing the same incident from a slightly different angle (terrorist attack vs drone strike, though likely the same event given the location and timing). The new event provides more specific details on the extent of the outage (70% of the region)."
"Event [9] describes a drone strike on the same facility causing a power outage, which is a concurrent or immediate consequence of the same attack that led to the production suspension in the new event."
"Event [5] explicitly states that Kataib Hezbollah struck the Khor Mor gas field. The new event describes the consequences of this specific attack (drone strike causing power outage).
