A new wave of explosions is reported in Bahrain, according to reports. The cause and extent of the events are not yet confirmed. The reports follow additional sirens heard in the country at 04:54 Jerusalem.
A new batch of explosions has been reported in Bahrain at 04:56 Jerusalem time on Thursday, according to a single unverified source. The cause, casualties, and damage are not yet known. This report comes nearly 24 hours after The Zioneer documented a series of sirens, explosions, and impacts across Bahrain on Wednesday morning, between 04:50 and 04:57 Jerusalem.
The Zioneer's thread on the earlier events began at 04:57 Jerusalem on Wednesday, July 8, with multiple reports published simultaneously. Initial reports from N12 indicated sirens in Bahrain, followed by the source reporting Iranian ballistic missile fire. Reports from Israeli media and local sources then documented explosions and impacts. By 04:57, ynet reported additional sirens, and local sources confirmed three impacts. The reports were attributed to Iranian retaliatory launches following US strikes on Iran, with footage showing launches from Iran, as reported by journalist Hananel Aviv.
As The Zioneer has reported since early June, Bahrain has been subject to repeated waves of Iranian-launched attacks, part of the broader conflict between Iran and the US-led coalition. Background reports from June 10, June 11, and June 28 document sirens, impacts, and waves of attacks. The Zioneer reported on June 28 that explosions and sirens were reported across the country, and footage showed impacts in Al-Sultan on June 11.
It remains unclear whether this new batch of explosions is a continuation of the previous attacks or a separate incident. No official confirmation from Bahraini or Iranian sources has been released. The situation is developing, and further details are awaited.
