Sirens were reported in Bahrain at 10:59 Jerusalem, according to regional reports. The sirens are the latest in a series of alerts in Bahrain since early morning, amid ongoing US strikes on Iranian sites.
Sirens sounded in Bahrain at 10:59 Jerusalem on Thursday, the third siren activation in the country since early morning. The alert follows a series of events that began overnight, as Iran launched retaliatory strikes against US targets in the region and the United States continued its strikes on Iranian military sites.
At 03:36 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported initial Iranian missile launches toward Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait, and subsequent sirens in Bahrain and Kuwait. A new batch of explosions was reported in Bahrain at 04:57 Jerusalem, followed by a second siren activation at 05:05, according to the Israeli news outlet N12. The cause of the earlier sirens and explosions remains unconfirmed, but they occurred amid the broader US-Iran escalation.
The Zioneer has reported on repeated siren activations and explosions in Bahrain since late June, including during waves of US strikes. Bahrain hosts the US Fifth Fleet, making it a frequent target in Iranian retaliatory campaigns.
The source of the 10:59 sirens, any interceptions or impacts, and potential casualties are not yet confirmed. The situation remains fluid.
