UAE nuclear plant attack more dangerous than Zaporizhzhia due to operating reactors, IAEA chief says

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi stated that last month's drone attack on the UAE's Barakah nuclear power plant was potentially more dangerous than the situation at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia facility because Barakah's reactors were operating at the time. Grossi described the attack as 'extremely serious and irresponsible,' warning of the risks of targeting civilian nuclear infrastructure.
