              (FILES) A handout picture obtained from the media office of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant on February 13, 2020, shows a view of the power plant in the western Al Dhafra Region -formerly know as the Gharbiya region- of Abu Dhabi on the Gulf coastline about 50 kilometres west of Ruwais. A fire broke out following a drone strike on a nuclear power plant in the emirate of Abu Dhabi on May 17, 2026, authorities said, reporting no injuries or impact on radiation levels. "Authorities in Abu Dhabi responded to a fire incident that broke out in an electrical generator outside the inner perimeter of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the Al Dhafra Region, caused by a drone strike," the Abu Dhabi Media Office wrote in a social media post.
