DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A drone strike targeted the United Arab Emirates' sole nuclear power plant on Sunday, sparking a fire on its perimeter. There were no reports of injuries or radiological release, but it highlighted the risk of renewed war as the Iran ceasefire remains tenuous.

No one immediately claimed responsibility, and the UAE did not blame anyone. It has however recently accused Iran of launching drone and missile attacks as tensions rise over the Strait of Hormuz, a vital energy waterway gripped by Iran, which is under a US naval blockade.

The UAE has hosted air defences and personnel from Israel, which sparked the war by attacking Iran with the US on February 28.
