The UAE strongly condemns the terrorist attacks that targeted the Barakah station using drones from Iraqi territory

The UAE condemned in the strongest terms the treacherous terrorist attacks carried out by drones coming from Iraqi territory, one of which last Sunday targeted the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant and hit an electrical generator outside the inner perimeter of the plant.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed, in a statement, the United Arab Emirates’ denunciation in the strongest terms and its absolute rejection of the heinous terrorist attacks launched from Iraqi territory and targeting vital civilian installations in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, in a flagrant violation of its sovereignty and airspace, and a clear violation of the provisions of international law, international humanitarian law, and the Charter of the United Nations.

The Ministry stressed the need for the Government of the Republic of Iraq to commit to urgently and unconditionally preventing all hostile acts emanating from its territory, and the need to deal with these threats urgently, immediately and responsibly, in accordance with relevant international and regional laws and conventions.

The Ministry also stressed the importance of Iraq playing its role in establishing security and stability in the region, in a way that preserves its sovereignty and strengthens its position as an active and responsible partner in its regional environment.
