The Middle East is currently facing a tense situation as the war between Israel, the United States, and Iran continues to escalate. The latest development took place on Sunday when a drone strike caused a fire at the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, and the plant's critical systems remained operational. The Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation confirmed this.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces are reportedly carrying out strikes in both eastern and southern Lebanon, despite a fragile ceasefire. U.S. media reported that these attacks targeted the town of Sohmor in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, while other strikes occurred across the region.
On the other side, Israel's military announced that one of its soldiers has lost their life in combat in southern Lebanon, bringing their total losses to 21 since the conflict began in early March.
As the war continues to unfold, Pakistan's Interior Minister, Mohsin Naqvi, arrived in Tehran to assist in the peace talks between Iran and the U.S., which have stalled during the ongoing ceasefire.
This comes days after the visit of Pakistan's influential army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir.
