Multiple explosions are reported in Bahrain early Tuesday morning, according to reports. The reports follow a wave of explosions reported at 05:05 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer previously noted, marking the second wave since 04:56.
At 05:18 Jerusalem, reports indicate multiple explosions in Bahrain, continuing the second wave of the night that began at 04:56 and was first reported at 05:05 Jerusalem. This latest development follows a series of alerts The Zioneer has tracked since 02:33 Jerusalem early Tuesday.
The Zioneer's coverage of tonight's events began at 02:33 Jerusalem, when sirens were reported in Bahrain based on a single source. Within minutes, journalist Yair Goldblatt attributed the sirens to Iranian fire, and subsequently confirmed explosions heard following the sirens. By 05:05 Jerusalem, a second wave of explosions was reported, described as 'renewed' explosions. The corroboration has evolved from a single unverified report to an analyst's on-record confirmation of explosions, though the cause and extent remain unverified.
The wider context includes The Zioneer's reporting on June 10 of US self-defense strikes in the region, and on June 11 of Bahrain's confirmation that 36 Iranian drones were launched at the kingdom, causing injuries and damage. Subsequent reports have documented multiple waves of explosions on July 9, June 28, and July 13.
The cause and extent of the 05:18 explosions are not yet confirmed. Reports remain unverified, and no details on casualties or damage have been released.
