The Bahrain Interior Ministry confirmed sirens were heard across the country as a missile and drone attack was reported against the kingdom, according to the ministry. No details on interceptions or casualties are available yet.
Bahrain's Interior Ministry confirmed on Tuesday evening that the kingdom was targeted by a missile and drone attack, with sirens heard across the country. The confirmation, issued at 20:16 Jerusalem, clarifies the cause of the explosions and sirens reported throughout the day. This development follows a series of explosion reports that began on Sunday, with the ministry initially confirming sirens at 02:33 Jerusalem without specifying the nature of the threat.
At 02:33 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported multiple waves of explosions in Bahrain, with the Interior Ministry at the time confirming only that sirens had been activated. Earlier reports, unverified, described a series of explosion waves — the first wave reported at 04:56 Jerusalem, followed by successive waves throughout the early morning. The ministry's initial statement did not indicate whether the sirens were triggered by an attack or by other causes. By Tuesday evening, the ministry upgraded its assessment, explicitly stating that the kingdom was under a missile and drone attack.
As The Zioneer reported on June 28, Bahrain's Foreign Ministry previously accused Iran of launching missiles and drones toward the kingdom. Similar incidents have been reported in recent weeks, including additional sirens and explosions on July 9, when the Interior Ministry urged citizens to shelter. The current attack has not been attributed to any actor, and no group has claimed responsibility.
It remains unclear whether any missiles or drones were intercepted, and no reports of casualties or damage have been issued. The origin of the attack has not been confirmed, and the full extent of the incident is still emerging.
