UAE Intercepts Six Hostile Drones Following Nuclear Plant Strike

The United Arab Emirates Ministry of Defense announced on May 20 that its air defense systems intercepted and destroyed six hostile drones targeting vital infrastructure over the preceding 48 hours. This escalation follows an unclaimed drone attack on May 17 that struck an electrical generator near the Barakah nuclear power plant, causing a fire but no radiation leak. No group has officially claimed responsibility, though the UAE remains on high alert amid regional maritime and aerial tensions.
