UAE nuclear plant was ‘carefully targeted’ in drone attack, UN says

A nuclear plant in the United Arab Emirates was “carefully targeted” in May by attackers who aimed to cause a major incident, the head of the UN’s atomic watchdog has said. The drone attack on May 17 hit an electricity facility at the plant, risking potentially shutting it down – a “serious situation indeed”, Rafael Grossi, who heads the International Atomic Energy Agency, said on Tuesday.
