Drone Attack on Barakah: UAE air defences intercepted three UAVs from the western border; two were neutralised, while the third hit an electrical generator outside Barakah’s inner perimeter, triggering a fire. Nuclear Safety Assured: Abu Dhabi says no injuries were reported and radiological safety levels were unaffected; FANR says essential systems and all units are operating normally, while the IAEA says radiation is normal but calls the incident “grave concern” and urges maximum military restraint near nuclear sites. Diplomatic Pushback: UAE foreign minister Abdullah bin Zayed condemned the “treacherous terrorist attack” in a call with IAEA chief Rafael Grossi; Qatar, Egypt and Jordan also condemned the strike as a violation of sovereignty and international law. Investigations Underway: The UAE says it is probing the source of the drones and will share more once inquiries finish. Eid Al Adha Timing: UAE confirms Eid Al Adha begins Wednesday, May 27, after the Dhu Al Hijja crescent was sighted. City Life: Dubai’s Al Khaleej Street six-lane tunnel is 80% complete and set to open this year to cut congestion for about 1 million people.
