Power has been restored to a nuclear reactor in the UAE following a drone attack
In the United Arab Emirates, external power supply to the third power unit of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant has been restored following a drone attack near the plant.
This was reported by the IAEA.
According to the agency, the drone strike the day before caused a fire in an electrical generator near the nuclear facility, resulting in the loss of external power.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi stated that following the restoration of power, the reactor no longer requires emergency diesel generators to ensure power supply.
An unidentified drone attacked a facility near the Barakah nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates. According to preliminary data, the strike caused a fire in an electric generator; information on the extent of the damage is being clarified.
Oil prices have fallen due to the UAE’s withdrawal from OPEC and tensionssurrounding Iran.
As a reminder, OPEC oil exports plummeted to a record low in March.
