Sunday May 17 a drone strike sparked a fire on the edge of the UAE's sole nuclear power plant (Barakah, Al Dhafra region, Abu Dhabi). Three drones approached from UAE's western Saudi-Arabian border; one hit an electrical generator outside the secured perimeter, the other two were intercepted. No casualties; no radiological release; plant's nuclear regulator confirmed all units operating as normal. UAE called the attack "unprovoked terrorist attack" and "dangerous escalation", blaming Iran or an Iran-aligned actor. First strike on civil-nuclear infrastructure in the post-ceasefire period - extends the Gulf-target surface materially.
