Drone strike hits perimeter of UAE's Barakah nuclear plant
A drone strike hit the perimeter of the Barakah nuclear power plant near Abu Dhabi on Sunday, setting an electrical generator ablaze, AP reported. UAE authorities said the blaze was limited to a generator on the plant's perimeter and caused no injuries or radiological release. Barakah is the United Arab Emirates' only nuclear power plant, and the strike came amid a fragile ceasefire tied to the Iran conflict. The incident matters because it shows regional fighting can directly target nuclear infrastructure, raising risks of wider escalation and potential energy disruptions.
PM Carney: Canada joins IAEA in condemning today’s drone attacks on the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in UAE. Targeting peaceful nuclear energy facilities poses grave risks to human life and environment. Canada stands by its friends and reiterates urgent need for restraint and de-escalation.

Canada's Border Czar 🍁3he still hasn't condemned Israel or the US for all the blatant civilian murder they do..
Idris Fashan2Ah, yes Canada’s well honed skills in political double standards… 150 years later, we’ve gotten pretty damn good at looking the other way westward and chirping our morals eastward. 🤣
Blade (I am Canadian)2@mark-carney.bsky.social hmmmm why the double standards?? You are okay with the us and Israel doing the attacking on nuclear facilities but not Iran retaliating? I'm sorry, how exactly is this in line with what Canadians want?
Gen Zod2Did the US and Israel attack any Iranian nuclear facilities recently? Did the US steal enriched uranium from a Venezuelan nuclear facility?
