Bahrain’s Royal Ministry of Defense announced this morning that Iran had launched an attack on the country using several suicide drones. The drones were reportedly destroyed before they could enter Bahraini territory. The ministry stated that the attack was thwarted by local air defenses.
No casualties or damage were reported, and Bahrain’s military confirmed that all incoming drones were intercepted.
The incident adds to growing tensions in the region as Iran has increased its use of unmanned aerial vehicles in recent months.
