Sirens were activated in Bahrain for the second time since the wave of US strikes, according to the Israeli news outlet N12. The cause of the sirens and any interceptions or casualties are not yet known.
Sirens were activated in Bahrain at 05:03 Jerusalem — the second such activation this morning — according to the Israeli news outlet N12. The alert follows an earlier round of sirens reported in Bahrain and Kuwait at 04:01 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer reported. The cause of the latest sirens and any interceptions or casualties remain unknown.
The new activation extends a sequence of events that began at 03:36 Jerusalem, when The Zioneer first reported that Iran had launched missiles toward Qatar and Bahrain in response to US strikes. Within minutes, the report was updated to include Kuwait as a target, and then to note that sirens had been heard in Bahrain and Kuwait. At 04:57 Jerusalem, a new wave of explosions was reported in Bahrain, though the source and scope of those blasts were not immediately confirmed. The thread has evolved from a single unverified channel to multiple news outlets, including N12 and ynet, but official confirmation from local authorities or the US military is still lacking.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, the US conducted strikes on Iranian infrastructure overnight, described by Hebrew-language security sources as a second wave of operations targeting air defenses and command centers in southern Iran. Those strikes themselves followed hours of sustained US attacks that began earlier in the week. The sirens in Bahrain and Kuwait are seen as part of an Iranian response, but no direct attribution has been made by officials.
What remains open: the exact source of the sirens at 05:03 — whether from incoming fire, interceptions, or a false alarm — is unconfirmed. No reports of casualties or material damage have surfaced for any of the alerts. The scope of the Iranian response, including whether additional launches are underway, is not yet known.
