Drone strike hits UAE nuclear plant

An 'unprovoked terrorist attack' involving a drone has triggered a fire near the Barakah nuclear power plant in Abu Dhabi, according to UAE authorities.

While no casualties or radiological leaks were reported, the incident has severely strained the five-week ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran.

The UAE has stated the drone originated from its western border but has stopped short of officially blaming Tehran.

The attack highlights the continued vulnerability of critical infrastructure in the region as diplomatic efforts to secure a permanent peace deal remain at a deadlock.
