Bahrain says its air defences have intercepted and destroyed “a number of treacherous Iranian aerial attacks”, according to Al Jazeera.

Tehran “continues its systematic hostile approach through its heinous attacks using missiles and drones targeting civilians”, the Bahraini army said in a statement on X.

“The General Command affirms all its weapons and units are at the highest levels of readiness and are fully prepared for defence to protect the kingdom,” it added.

The military called on the public to “exercise caution” and avoid approaching or touching “any suspicious objects resulting from the remnants of the brutal Iranian attack and to report them immediately”.

Deliberately targeting civilians and private property with missiles and drones “constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law”, it said.
