Amazon said its Amazon Web Services region in Bahrain has been “disrupted” amid the current conflict in the Middle East, marking the second time in a month that its operations have been affected by the war, Reuters reports.

The disruption is due to drone activity in the area, an Amazon spokesperson said, following a Reuters inquiry.

The company said it is helping to migrate customers to alternate AWS regions while it recovers, though it did not provide additional details such as the extent of the damage or how long it anticipates the disruption to last.
