The IAEA said it had been informed by the UAE that no injuries were reported and that emergency diesel generators were providing power to Unit 3 of the plant.
IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi expressed grave concern over the incident and said military activity threatening nuclear safety was unacceptable.
