Bahrain has urged residents to move to safe shelters after Iran launched attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain in response to US strikes. Early Saturday morning, warning sirens sounded across Bahrain, prompting authorities to issue an alert for citizens and residents to remain calm and seek nearby safe locations. The Ministry of Interior announced the advisory through a message on social media platform X at around 4:15 a.m. local time.
Earlier in the week, Bahrain reported that its air defense system had intercepted and destroyed three missiles and several drones. The recent escalation follows a series of retaliatory actions between Iran and the United States, with Bahrain now taking precautionary measures to protect its population.
Authorities have not yet provided further details on the extent of the attacks or any casualties, but the alert indicates heightened security measures and ongoing regional tension.
