Bahrain’s General Command of the Defence Force said its air defence systems intercepted and destroyed 3 Iranian missiles and a number of drones targeting civilian areas in the kingdom, describing Iran’s conduct as a deliberate and systematic hostile campaign.
The General Command said its forces were operating at the highest state of combat readiness and defensive preparedness, and would remain so to protect the country.
Residents were urged to avoid approaching or touching any suspicious objects or debris left from the attacks and to report them immediately to authorities. The General Command confirmed that Royal Field Engineering units were fully prepared to handle any such objects safely.
The command also stated that the intentional targeting of civilian infrastructure and private property with missiles and drones constitutes a clear violation of international humanitarian law.
