International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) ⁠chief Rafael Grossi says the agency is offering support to the United Arab Emirates during a visit to the nuclear power plant that came under a drone attack last month, according to Al Jazeera.

Grossi says Emirati authorities reacted very quickly to the attack at the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant by shutting down a reactor due to the loss of external power.

He adds that ⁠a number of activities will take place to complete repairs at ‌the plant, but has provided no further details.
