Iraq reopened the North refinery in Baiji on Friday after being closed for a decade, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said in a statement.
The refinery was taken over by Islamic State militants in 2014 and was heavily damaged in fighting between the group and Iraqi security forces who retook it.
