An electrical generator fire triggered by an unmanned aerial vehicle strike drew an immediate response from emergency teams near the inner boundary of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the Al Dhafra Region, Reuters reported on Sunday, according to the Abu Dhabi Media Office.
Casualties were entirely averted, environmental radiation metrics remained baseline, and the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation verified that primary operations at the facility continue unhindered.
The official release did not identify who was responsible for the apparent aerial raid. The UAE has faced repeated missile and drone threats during the Israel-US-Iran war, and regional officials have attributed previous attacks on maritime and energy assets to Iran.
