Bahrain’s Defense Force said on Tuesday that several Iranian aerial attacks were successfully repelled, in a statement issued after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they had carried out missile and drone strikes on the kingdom.
The military accused Iran in its statement of continuing “its systematic hostile approach” through attacks targeting civilian sites in Bahrain.
The statement said using missiles and drones to attack civilians and private property was a “flagrant violation” of international humanitarian law.
A journalist from the AFP said that blasts had been heard in the Bahraini capital, Manama, with missile alert sirens sounding for the third time since dawn.
Bahrain’s Defense Ministry had warned on X that “sirens have been set off, we urge citizens and residents to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place.”
