Sirens were reported in Bahrain early Thursday, with the Interior Ministry now confirming the alerts, according to Israeli media. Unverified reports of explosions also emerged. The cause remains unclear.
On Thursday, at 02:13 Jerusalem, the Bahrain Interior Ministry officially confirmed that sirens were activated across the country, following an earlier report of sirens at 02:11 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer reported. The confirmation comes after a sequence of alerts in the Gulf state since Wednesday evening, when sirens were first reported at 22:41 Jerusalem, initially attributed to a single report. By 22:41, the sirens were linked to the US announcement of further strikes on Iran, as The Zioneer noted. Another siren alert was reported at 02:11 Jerusalem early Thursday, shortly before the ministry's confirmation.
The incident is part of a broader pattern of unexplained sirens and explosions in Bahrain over recent weeks. The Zioneer reported on explosions and sirens on June 28 and July 9, and additional explosions on July 15. On July 9, the Interior Ministry urged citizens to shelter after similar alerts. The cause of the latest sirens remains unknown, with no reports of interceptions or casualties. The ministry's confirmation did not provide a cause or link to any specific threat.
