In the United Arab Emirates, a drone strike triggered a fire outside the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in Abu Dhabi today. According to the Abu Dhabi Media Office, the blaze broke out in an external electrical generator located outside the plant’s perimeter. Authorities said there were no injuries and no impact on radiological safety levels.
The UAE’s nuclear regulator confirmed that the fire did not affect the plant’s operations or safety systems, adding that all reactor units continue to function normally.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, and UAE authorities have not blamed any party.
The strike is being seen as the first known attack targeting the four-reactor Barakah nuclear facility during the ongoing Iran conflict.
