Sirens were activated in Bahrain early Wednesday morning (03:02 Jerusalem), and residents were instructed to seek shelter, according to reports. The cause of the latest alerts remains unconfirmed. This is the most recent in a series of alerts in the Gulf state since Tuesday evening.
The series of alerts began on Tuesday with multiple waves of explosions and sirens reported throughout the day. In a series of updates published at 02:33 Jerusalem, The Zioneer documented the escalation: initial reports of explosions, followed by the Interior Ministry confirming sirens were heard, and eventually confirming a missile and drone attack against the kingdom. At 20:41 Jerusalem, the desk reported that sirens were activated following an Iranian attack. Earlier on Tuesday, at 07:37 Jerusalem, sirens had been reported for the third time since the previous night, as noted in The Zioneer's coverage.
The Zioneer has previously reported on siren events in Bahrain over recent weeks. On July 9, the Interior Ministry urged citizens to shelter after sirens and reported explosions. On July 13, sirens were activated in both Bahrain and Kuwait. On June 28, explosions and sirens were reported in the kingdom. These events occur amid heightened regional tensions following the Iranian attack on Israel.
It remains unclear whether the sirens at 03:02 Wednesday are a direct continuation of the earlier attack or a new development, and no details on interceptions or casualties are available yet.
