Ankara: Sirens sounded in Bahrain for the second time in approximately four hours, as confirmed by Bahrain's Interior Ministry on Monday. The ministry urged both citizens and residents to stay calm and move to the nearest safe location, although no explanation was provided for the alert.

According to Anadolu Agency, the warning comes amid Iran's retaliatory strikes against Gulf countries hosting US military assets. Bahrain has been among the hardest-hit Gulf states since US-Israeli strikes against Iran began on February 28. These strikes have resulted in missiles hitting a service center affiliated with the US Navy's Fifth Fleet.

The ongoing conflict has reportedly claimed the lives of at least 1,300 people, including the former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The situation remains tense as Bahrain and other Gulf states face the repercussions of this escalating conflict.
