Despite the damage, authorities reported that no casualties occurred in the incident. Emergency teams secured the area and conducted inspections to ensure the safety of residents.
The strike comes as tensions across the Gulf continue to escalate amid the broader confrontation involving Iran, Israel and the United States. Iran has launched missile and drone attacks across several locations in response to ongoing military operations targeting the country.
According to the Bahrain Defence Force, the kingdom’s air defence systems have intercepted a large number of incoming threats since the beginning of the hostilities. Military officials said defence units have successfully destroyed 75 missiles and 123 drones targeting the country.
In a statement, the armed forces said their personnel had demonstrated a high level of operational readiness and vigilance in defending the country. The statement also condemned the use of ballistic missiles and drones against civilian infrastructure, describing such actions as a violation of international humanitarian law and the United Nations Charter.
