Air raid sirens sounded across Bahrain on Tuesday as Iranian strikes continued to target several countries in the region amid escalating hostilities between Iran and the United States.
In a statement, Bahrain’s Interior Ministry urged citizens and residents to remain calm and proceed to the nearest safe location.
Earlier in the day, Bahrain’s military said its air defence systems had intercepted and destroyed several Iranian aerial projectiles targeting the kingdom. Authorities said there were no immediate reports of casualties or material damage.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it had targeted and destroyed central data infrastructure belonging to Amazon in Bahrain using several cruise missiles.
The Iranian military also said it had launched drone strikes against the US-operated Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain.
The latest developments come as the United States continues its military campaign against Iran, while Tehran has responded with attacks on facilities and bases it says are used by US forces across the region.
The renewed exchange of attacks follows the apparent collapse of a Pakistan-brokered memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed in June, which had been intended to end the conflict and pave the way for a lasting peace agreement.
