Russia joined other UN Security Council members to condemn the drone strike on the UAE’s Barakah nuclear power plant, which Abu Dhabi said originated from Iraq, AFP reports.

“Attacks targeting peaceful nuclear facilities in any country of the world…are categorically unacceptable,” said Russia’s ambassador to the UN Vassily Nebenzya.

“Against this backdrop, our country categorically condemns the actions of those who carried out the strike targeting the plant on the territory of the UAE, thereby generating risks of escalation,” he continued without naming any party.

From China to the United States, the other members of the Security Council also condemned the strikes, which have not been claimed by any group.

“What sane nation, either directly or indirectly through proxies, sends drone attacks into an active and ongoing nuclear power plant?” asked US ambassador Mike Waltz, denouncing “outrageous and unacceptable attacks”.
