A drone strike triggered a fire near a nuclear power plant in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi on Sunday, according to statements attributed to United Arab Emirates authorities. Officials confirmed that there were no reported casualties and no evidence of a radiological leak following the incident.

The affected site is believed to be near the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant, the country’s first nuclear energy facility. Emergency teams reportedly contained the fire quickly, and operations at the facility have not been publicly confirmed as disrupted.

The origin of the drone remains unknown. However, regional analysts note that initial attention is focusing on possible involvement by Iran, though no evidence has been officially presented to support the claim. Iranian authorities have not issued a response regarding the incident.

In the aftermath of the strike, U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to convene senior national security advisers on May 18 to discuss possible military and diplomatic responses. The meeting is expected to review regional security risks and potential escalation scenarios in the Gulf.

Authorities in United Arab Emirates have emphasized that investigations are ongoing, and further details will be released as verified information becomes available.
