Iran fires ballistic missiles and drones toward Bahrain and Kuwait, according to Bahrain’s government, in an incident that tests a fragile ceasefire in the Middle East. Multiple outlets report that the attacks occur early Saturday and that the missiles and drones are intercepted. Bahrain’s government says the projectiles are directed at Bahrain and Kuwait, while the U.S. responds by intercepting some of the incoming threats, according to reporting from Global News (Canada). PBS NewsHour also cites Bahrain’s government as the source for the claim that the strikes are met with interceptions. An additional report based on an Associated Press dispatch likewise states that Bahrain’s government describes the launches and interception and includes a call from Bahrain for Tehran to halt attacks on Gulf neighbors. Across the reports, the key points are that Iran launches ballistic missiles and drones, Bahrain and Kuwait are identified as targets, interceptions occur, and the incident raises renewed concerns about the stability of a ceasefire amid the broader Iran–U.S. and regional conflict context.
