A new unverified report Tuesday evening (20:48 Jerusalem time) described columns of smoke rising in Manama, the capital of Bahrain. The source and cause of the smoke remain unknown. This is the latest in a series of reports from Bahrain throughout the day, all of which remain unconfirmed.
Earlier Tuesday, The Zioneer reported a sequence of events: at 12:37 Jerusalem, sirens were heard in Bahrain, attributed by an Al Arabiya correspondent to ongoing Iranian missile attacks on Gulf states. Within the same hour, unverified reports emerged of multiple explosions near the Qatar border, then three explosions, and then another loud explosion. All those reports were unverified, and their cause has not been determined.
The Zioneer has previously reported on smoke and explosions in Bahrain in the context of regional tensions, including smoke observed from the US Naval Support Activity in Bahrain on Monday, July 13, and an earlier report of smoke rising after Iranian missile strikes on US bases on July 20. However, no direct connection between those past incidents and the current series has been established.
The cause of the smoke reported Tuesday evening, any casualties, and possible damage remain unconfirmed. The report has not been independently verified.
