Bahrain Intercepts Iranian Missiles and Drones Targeting Civilian Sites

The General Command of Bahrain's Defense Force announced on Wednesday that its air defense systems successfully intercepted and destroyed three missiles along with several drones during Iranian attacks on the country.

Following the alerts, Bahrain urged residents to seek shelter in the nearest safe locations after air raid sirens were sounded.

In an official statement released on Wednesday, the command accused Iran of persisting in its hostile approach through deliberate missile and drone assaults aimed at civilian sites within the Kingdom of Bahrain.

The statement described the intentional targeting of civilian infrastructure and private property using missiles and drones as a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.

It also affirmed that all Bahraini weapons and units remain at the highest levels of readiness and defensive alert to protect the kingdom.

The command called on the public to exercise caution, avoid approaching or touching any suspicious or foreign objects resulting from the remnants of the Iranian attack, and to report them immediately.
