Bahrain announced that Iran launched several drones toward the kingdom in retaliation for American airstrikes overnight, according to an official statement. Details on interception or damage remain unreported.
Bahrain's government issued a statement Saturday afternoon saying Iran had launched several drones toward the kingdom in retaliation for American airstrikes carried out overnight. The accusation follows a pattern of Iranian attacks on Gulf states as part of the wider regional confrontation over the past weeks. As The Zioneer reported at 12:34, Bahrain similarly accused Iran of a drone attack earlier Saturday, and on June 11 Bahrain confirmed 36 Iranian drones were launched at the kingdom, causing injuries and property damage. No details on interception, casualties, or damage are yet available this afternoon. The US airstrikes, their precise targets, and whether they are part of the broader Operation Rising Lion campaign remain unconfirmed by American or Bahraini officials.
