Bahrain's Foreign Minister confirmed that 36 Iranian drones were launched at the kingdom this morning, according to a statement reported by Israeli media. Authorities reported vehicle fires and damage to several homes, with Civil Defense and ambulance teams responding to the incidents. The Interior Ministry stated that an 11-year-old girl suffered minor injuries after shrapnel from intercepted drones fell in Hamad City and Manama.
The incident is the latest in a series of Iranian drone incursions into Bahrain. As The Zioneer reported earlier today (14:36 Jerusalem), the foreign minister initially stated that over 36 drones had penetrated Bahraini airspace. At 12:13 Jerusalem, the desk reported that an 11-year-old girl had been hurt by Iranian drone debris in Bahrain. Earlier reports focused on a claimed strike on a US radar facility and on the IRGC's claims of attacking the US Fifth Fleet — both of which remain unverified. The Bahrain Defense Force has been intercepting aerial targets launched from Iran, with the royal adviser confirming interceptions at 06:58 Jerusalem.
A separate batch at 14:05 Jerusalem reported unverified footage of a fire at a US radar facility on Mount Jabal al-Dukhan, which the foreign minister's confirmation of the drone count does not address. That claim remains unconfirmed. The morning's drone barrage follows a second wave of Iranian attacks on Bahrain reported on June 10, with sirens sounding across the country.
