01 · THE DISPATCH

Kuwait and Bahrain both declared they are facing airborne threats early Thursday, as sirens sounded across the Persian Gulf region. At least two explosions were reported over Manama, the Bahraini capital. The alerts follow a multi-hour wave of Iranian retaliatory launches targeting US and Gulf positions. As The Zioneer reported in previous bulletins, interceptions and explosions have been reported across Bahrain since the early morning, part of a broader regional escalation between Washington and Tehran. The nature of the threat to Kuwait remains unclear, and no confirmations of interceptions or impacts in Kuwaiti territory have been reported so far.
