The ​International Atomic Energy ‌Agency is ​offering the United Arab Emirates technical ‌as well as moral support, IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said on Tuesday after ‌a visit to the site ‌of a nuclear power plant that came under a drone attack last month.

Grossi ⁠said ​Emirati ⁠authorities had reacted very quickly to the ⁠attack at the Barakah Nuclear Power ​Plant by shutting down a reactor ⁠because of the loss of external ⁠power.

He ​said a number of activities would take place ⁠to complete repairs at the plant but ⁠provided ⁠no further details.
