UN Condemns Attack on UAE's Barakah Nuclear Plant

The United Nations Security Council on Tuesday denounced an attack on the Barakah Nuclear Plant located in the United Arab Emirates. In a statement, the council termed the incident a violation of international law.

While condemning the attack, the Security Council refrained from attributing blame. This diplomatic move comes amid rising tensions in the region.

The UAE recently reported that six drones were launched against its territory from Iraq, with one drone causing a fire at the nuclear facility. Iraq hosts powerful Iranian-backed militias, which have taken responsibility for attacks against 'enemy bases' in the region during the U.S.-Israeli confrontation with Iran.
