Bahrain’s army has said it intercepted three missiles and several drones targeting civilian infrastructure, attributing the attacks to Iran and its “systematic aggression”, Al Jazeera reports.

The military condemned the Iranian strikes as a violation of international law and said it stands ready to continue protecting Bahrain.

“The general command of the Bahrain defence force announces Iran continues its systematic hostile campaign through its criminal attacks using missiles and drones targeting civilian facilities in the Kingdom of Bahrain,” it said in a statement.
