Sirens sounded across Bahrain on Sunday after authorities warned of a possible attack, prompting the Interior Ministry to urge residents to remain calm and move to the nearest safe location.
“The siren has been sounded,” the ministry said, advising citizens and residents to follow official channels for further updates.
The warning came after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it had launched missile and drone attacks on US military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait in response to recent American strikes on targets in Iran.
Earlier, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said it had carried out strikes against Iranian targets, describing the operation as a response to what it called Iranian attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
