Saudi Arabia says it intercepted three drones that crossed into its airspace from Iraqi territory, following a drone attack near the UAE’s Barakah nuclear site. Riyadh warned of action to defend sovereignty, while analysts note possible Iranian-backed proxies testing new drone routes in the Gulf amid a fragile Iran ceasefire.
A drone strike hit the perimeter of the UAE's Barakah nuclear power plant, causing a fire but with no injuries or radiological release. Three drones reportedly entered from the west; two were intercepted and the third struck an electrical generator outside the inner perimeter. Investigations are underway. The IAEA chief urged maximum restraint near nuclear sites, while UAE regulators said the fire did not affect safety and all units are operating normally as regional tensions with Iran persist.
