Abu Dhabi, UAE – The United Nations strongly condemned a drone attack targeting areas near a nuclear power plant in Abu Dhabi. It described the attack as a highly dangerous development that threatens the security and safety of vital facilities in the region.

The international organization emphasized that targeting nuclear infrastructure, even in its immediate vicinity, poses a direct threat to regional stability. It also increases the risk of escalation in a region already experiencing heightened tensions. The UN called for restraint and adherence to international law.

The United Nations stressed that any military action near civilian nuclear facilities could have catastrophic consequences. It called for an urgent investigation to determine who was responsible for the attack and to ensure that such incidents do not recur.

International and regional actors have also called for de-escalation and urged against targeting vital infrastructure. This comes at a time of growing concern about the widening scope of tensions in the region and their impact on global energy security.
