A new unverified report claims Iran is using cluster munitions in its strikes on Bahrain. The report follows earlier reports of waves of projectiles fired toward Kuwait and Bahrain earlier this evening.
At 20:43 Jerusalem, a single unverified source reported that Iran is striking Bahrain with cluster munitions, as part of the ongoing Gulf campaign. This follows a sustained wave of attacks earlier this evening, with The Zioneer reporting at 20:41 Jerusalem that Iran had launched waves of projectiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain since the afternoon.
As early as 05:03 Jerusalem, the Kuwaiti army reported hostile aerial targets in its airspace. Over the subsequent hours, reports emerged of a drone attack on Kuwait, a precise strike on a vital center with casualties, and multiple waves of projectiles — including more than 25 launches in a half-hour period. The source quality evolved from a single unconfirmed report to official confirmation from the Kuwaiti military, which explicitly attributed the attacks to Iran. The latest cluster munition claim, however, reverts to a single unverified source.
As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, Iran has launched multiple attacks on Gulf states, including Bahrain and Qatar, as part of a broader campaign. Background context includes previous reports of sirens in Bahrain this morning and HIMARS launches from Bahrain toward Iran overnight.
The cluster munition report remains unverified. No independent confirmation, specific location, impact details, or casualty figures have been provided. The type and number of munitions are not yet confirmed.
