Bahrain Activates Air Raid Sirens After Iranian Missile, Drone Claims

Bahrain activated its air raid sirens on July 13 after Iranian state-affiliated media reported that missiles and drones had been launched toward U.S. targets in the region. The Interior Ministry confirmed the activation of the warning sirens and advised residents to remain calm while adhering to official safety instructions.

The ministry recommended that the public avoid using or obstructing main roads unless absolutely necessary, stating that further guidance would be issued as the situation evolves. These precautionary measures were implemented amidst heightened regional tensions, following reports from Iranian media about missile and drone launches targeting U.S. military assets across the Gulf.

Bahraini authorities have not reported any strikes or damage within the kingdom itself. The activation of sirens indicates a response to potential threats reported by regional actors, prompting a state of alert within the country.
