Sirens are sounding in Bahrain on Sunday morning due to the threat of an Iranian missile and drone attack, according to a single source tracked by The Zioneer.
This is the latest in a series of aerial alerts in the Gulf state, which has been targeted by Iranian retaliatory launches in recent days amid escalating US-Iran military activity. As The Zioneer reported, sirens were also heard in Bahrain earlier Sunday morning. Previous alerts in the past week have been linked to Iranian attacks and interceptions by Bahraini air defenses.
The current warning comes after a pattern of Iranian retaliatory launches, including strikes reported by journalists and official sources that have also targeted Jordan and Kuwait. Bahrain's air defenses have intercepted aerial targets fired from Iran in prior incidents, as confirmed by a royal adviser.
The cause of the current alert and whether interceptions or impacts have occurred are not yet known.
