Manama: Bahrain announced that its air defenses have successfully intercepted and destroyed a total of 182 missiles and 398 drones targeting the nation since the onset of Iranian attacks last month. The General Command of the Bahrain Defense Force confirmed these figures but did not provide information regarding any resulting injuries or damage from the attacks.
According to Anadolu Agency, Bahraini authorities have condemned the Iranian attacks, labeling them a 'flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the UN Charter.' The attacks are also described as a 'direct threat to regional peace and security.' The escalation of hostilities in the Gulf region follows the launch of a joint offensive by the US and Israel against Tehran on February 28, which has led to missile and drone attacks on Gulf countries, including Bahrain.
The missile and drone assaults have caused casualties and damage to critical civilian infrastructure across the region, affecting airports, ports, and buildings. The situation continues to be closely monitored by regional and international authorities as tensions remain high.
