Bahrain’s government reports that air raid sirens sound as it says Iran launches ballistic missiles and drones toward Bahrain and Kuwait. Bahrain’s foreign ministry says the incoming weapons are intercepted. The ministry calls on Iran to immediately stop attacks on Gulf neighbors. The reports describe the incident as an attack directed at more than one country in the region, with Kuwait also mentioned alongside Bahrain. Bahrain frames the situation as an ongoing security threat from Iran and indicates that defensive actions prevent the missiles and drones from reaching their targets. No details are provided in the available accounts on the number of missiles or drones involved, specific interception locations, or whether any damage or casualties occur. The accounts converge on Bahrain’s statement that interceptions occur and that Bahrain directs its appeal to Iran to cease the attacks. Washington Times and Stuff.co.nz both attribute the claims to Bahrain’s foreign ministry and present the event as a coordinated missile-and-drone strike attempt affecting Bahrain and Kuwait.
