Unverified reports indicate further explosions in Bahrain, the latest in a series of such events over recent weeks. The cause, extent, and any casualties are not yet known.
Additional explosions are being reported in Bahrain, according to unverified reports, shortly after 03:00 Jerusalem on Wednesday. This is the latest in a wave of explosion reports in the country, following earlier reports Tuesday evening of explosions in both Bahrain and Kuwait.
The Zioneer first reported possible explosions in Kuwait at 18:50 Jerusalem Tuesday, citing the site nziv.net. Minutes later, reports attributed the explosions to launches from Iran. Subsequent reports from Israeli news outlets Channel 12 and N12 indicated sirens in Kuwait, and military analyst Chananel Aviv reported explosions heard in Kuwait and later in Bahrain. All reports were published at 18:50 Jerusalem and remain unverified, based on a single source. At 20:45 Jerusalem, The Zioneer published an analysis assessing that the pattern of impacts in Bahrain is consistent with cluster munitions, though no official confirmation has been provided.
The Zioneer has covered a series of explosion and siren reports in Bahrain since early June, including on June 10 amid US self-defense strikes, on June 28, July 9, and July 12. The current reports appear to be part of this ongoing pattern.
The cause of tonight's explosions, the extent of any damage, and possible casualties are not yet known. The reports remain unverified and are based on a single source.
