A drone strike at the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the UAE caused a fire but did not affect safety or operations, according to Abu Dhabi officials. They did not assign blame for the attack, which comes amid stalled efforts to end the U. S.-Israeli war with Iran. The UAE has previously accused Iran of targeting its energy facilities during rising regional tensions.
The International Atomic Energy Agency is monitoring the situation closely. Since the war began on February 28, Iran has frequently targeted the UAE and Gulf states hosting U. S. military bases, following a series of U. S. and Israeli strikes against Iran. Tensions escalated after U. S. President Donald Trump announced a naval mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route, which he later suspended.
