UAE says drones targeting nuclear plant came from Iraq

The United Arab Emirates said on Tuesday that the drones that targeted its nuclear plant last week came from Iraq -- from where Iranian-backed groups have launched several attacks since the Middle East war began.

"As part of the ongoing investigation into the blatant attack on the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant on May 17, 2026, technical tracking and monitoring confirmed that the three drones... all originated from Iraqi territory," the Emirati defence ministry said.
