New Delhi:The Ministry of External Affairs urgently called for restraint after a drone strike triggered a fire near UAE's Barakah, which provides around 25 per cent of the emirate's electricity.

A statement by the ministry read, "India is deeply concerned at the attack targeting the Barakah nuclear facility in the UAE. Such actions are unacceptable and represent a dangerous escalation. We urgently call for restraint and a return to dialogue and diplomacy."

No injuries or impact on radiation levels were reported following the Barakah facility attack. The UAE said three drones entered from the western border - one struck the inner perimeter of the nuclear facility, while two others were intercepted.

The attack comes at a time the ceasefire in the Middle East is more fragile than ever as reports hint at US plans to renew the war against Iran and a lasting peace proposal remains elusive.

The UAE "condemned in the strongest terms the unprovoked terrorist attack" and "will not tolerate any threat to its security and sovereignty under any circumstances", a foreign ministry statement said.
