India says it is “deeply concerned” after a drone strike targets infrastructure near the UAE’s Barakah nuclear facility. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) reacts to an incident in which a drone reportedly hits a generator near the Gulf country’s sole nuclear power plant, causing a fire on the complex’s perimeter. The MEA statement condemns the attack as unacceptable and describes it as a dangerous escalation. It calls for restraint and for a return to dialogue and diplomacy.
According to the UAE side, no responsibility for the strike has been claimed. The UAE Ministry of Defence says it is working to determine the source of the drone attack. The incident also raises concerns among observers about a potential escalation of tensions across West Asia.
India’s position is stated as concern over actions targeting the nuclear facility area, with an emphasis on de-escalation measures. The reports present the event as part of the wider security situation in the region while noting the lack of any confirmed perpetrator.
