UAE investigates source of drones after ‚treacherous terrorist attack‘ on Barakah plant

(May 17, 2026)

The UAE said on Sunday that it had launched an investigation to determine the source of the drone attack.

Authorities responded after an electrical generator was set on fire outside the inner perimeter of the plant in the Al Dhafra Region. No injuries were reported and there was no impact on radiological safety levels, Abu Dhabi Media Office said.

The media office statement did not name Iran as being responsible for firing the drone, when previous statements following air strikes have done so.
