Sharjah24-WAM: The Kingdom of Bahrain strongly condemned the terrorist drone attack on the United Arab Emirates, which caused a fire on the perimeter of the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the Al Dhafra region.

In a statement carried by the Bahrain News Agency (BNA), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the attack constitutes a flagrant violation of international law, the UN Charter, the principles of good neighbourliness, and UN Security Council Resolution 2817.

The Ministry commended Abu Dhabi’s air defence forces for their highly professional response and swift precautionary measures, which maintained the highest safety standards and resulted in no casualties and no impact on radiological safety levels.

The Ministry reaffirmed Bahrain's absolute solidarity with the UAE, expressing full support for all legitimate measures to safeguard the UAE's sovereignty, security, and vital infrastructure against ongoing aggression. It also emphasised that this stance is rooted in longstanding ties and renewed its call for enhanced regional and international cooperation to protect civilians and vital facilities and to sustain peace at the global and regional levels.
