Bahrain condemned Iran's missile attacks on its territory Saturday, calling them a violation of sovereignty and a regional security threat, according to a statement from the kingdom. Bahrain said it successfully intercepted several Iranian missiles launched during the barrage.
Bahrain formally condemned Iran's missile strikes on its territory on Saturday, mid-afternoon Jerusalem time, describing them as a violation of sovereignty and a threat to regional stability. The Gulf kingdom confirmed that its air defenses successfully intercepted several of the Iranian missiles.
This is the second reported Iranian attack on Bahrain this weekend. As The Zioneer reported at 13:30 Saturday, Bahrain's Foreign Ministry stated that Iran launched two drones into its territory that morning — both intercepted — and denounced the launches as unacceptable aggression. The current salvo involved missiles rather than drones, though the precise number of incoming projectiles has not been specified.
Bahrain has been a repeated target of Iranian aerial attacks since the broader regional escalation earlier this June. The kingdom previously reported intercepting 36 Iranian drones earlier this month, and sirens sounded across the country during an Iranian barrage on June 10-11. Saturday's double strike — first drones, now missiles — marks a significant intensification of direct Iranian attacks on Bahraini soil. No casualties or damage from the current missile wave have been reported.
