“Dangerous Escalation”: India Condemns Drone Attack Near Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in UAE

India has strongly condemned a drone attack targeting the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the United Arab Emirates, calling it a “dangerous escalation” and urging restraint along with a return to diplomacy. The UAE confirmed that a drone struck an electricity generator outside the nuclear facility’s perimeter, though no damage was reported to the plant itself. The incident has raised global concern due to the sensitive nature of nuclear infrastructure, with the UAE describing it as a terrorist attack and a violation of international law. Barakah, the first nuclear power plant on the Arabian Peninsula, remains fully operational, but the attack highlights growing risks to critical energy infrastructure in conflict zones.
