JAKARTA - A mysterious drone attack triggered a fire around the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) in the Al Dhafra region, United Arab Emirates (UAE). A new potential regional escalation in the midst of the Iran-US ceasefire emerges.
UAE authorities in Abu Dhabi said the fire point was an electrical generator outside the nuclear power plant perimeter on Sunday, May 17 local time.
According to Al Jazeera's report, this incident did not cause any casualties, while local officials said the radiation level remained normal.
The UAE nuclear regulator explained that the operation of the facility at the first nuclear power plant in the Arabian Peninsula continued to run unaffected by this incident.
"All units are operating as usual," the regulator said.
Until now, no party has claimed responsibility for the drone attack. The UAE has not publicly blamed any country for this.
