New Delhi: Once again there has been a major drone attack in UAE. A fire broke out outside the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in Abu Dhabi after a drone attack. According to officials, the attack was carried out by an Iranian drone. Abu Dhabi Media Office said that the fire broke out in an electrical generator located in the plant complex. This fire broke out near the outer safety boundary of the plant. There is no news of anyone being injured in the incident and there was no impact on radiation or nuclear safety.
Barakah Nuclear Plant is located in Al Dhafra area. It is considered to be the first nuclear plant in the Arab world. A major part of UAE’s electric supply is fulfilled from here. After the fire, the security and fire teams immediately brought the situation under control. The Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation or FANR said that the nuclear plant is completely safe from this incident. All the units of the plant are working normally and there was no impact on the essential systems. The government has asked people to trust only government information and avoid rumours.

Iran attacked UAE the most
After the Iran war that started on February 28, there have been many missile and drone attacks on UAE. Earlier too, energy bases and maritime infrastructure had been targeted. Although no one has claimed responsibility for this new attack, UAE officials say that drones linked to Iran were used in it. According to a report, UAE was most affected after America and Israel started attacking Iran in late February. Iran has fired more than 2,800 drones and missiles on UAE.
US-Iran talks stalled
Here, talks between America and Iran are also stalled. America had stopped its attacks last month, but later started the blockade of Iran’s ports. Iran has also maintained strict control over the Strait of Hormuz. Due to the disruption in the road, the oil crisis in the world has deepened and the prices of crude oil have increased. Peace talks between America and Iran are also currently stalled because both the countries are not ready to accept each other’s proposals.
