Fire breaks out after drone strike on UAE nuclear power plant: Authorities

A fire broke out following a drone strike on a nuclear power plant in the emirate of Abu Dhabi on Sunday, authorities said, reporting no injuries or impact on radiation levels.

"Authorities in Abu Dhabi responded to a fire incident that broke out in an electrical generator outside the inner perimeter of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the Al Dhafra Region, caused by a drone strike," the Abu Dhabi Media Office wrote in a social media post.

"No injuries were reported, and there was no impact on radiological safety levels," it added.
