The United Arab Emirates has welcomed a statement from the UN Security Council expressing “grave concern” about a May 17 drone attack on its Barakah nuclear power plant, Al Jazeera reports.

“The Council has spoken in unity: there must be an immediate and permanent cessation of all attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure in the UAE, including attacks and threats of attack against peaceful nuclear facilities,” the UAE’s mission to the UN said in a post on X.

The mission also called for those responsible for “act of aggression – including those acting through proxy networks” to be held accountable.
