Iranian strike hits facility near Salman Port in Bahrain

Bahrain's Ministry of Interior reported on Sunday evening that a strategic maritime facility near Salman Port was directly targeted in an Iranian attack, causing a fire at the site. Civil defense teams were immediately deployed to contain the blaze, supported by full security and technical personnel to manage the emergency.

According to official statements, the attack likely involved drones or ballistic missiles aimed at striking the country’s economic and security infrastructure. Salman Port, a key hub for shipping and trade, was considered the focal point of the assault.

Authorities confirmed that firefighting teams contained the flames and prevented them from spreading to nearby warehouses and facilities. Security forces established a tight perimeter to ensure the safety of workers and facilitate emergency operations, while technical committees began assessing the full extent of material damage.

The Bahraini Ministry emphasized that the attack represents a blatant violation of international norms and a direct threat to national security and stability. Citizens and residents were urged to avoid the area and follow official channels for information, while authorities warned against sharing videos or images that could fuel panic or serve hostile agendas.

Security agencies remain on high alert and are coordinating with air defense forces to monitor potential further threats. The attack comes amid a wave of Iranian strikes affecting several Gulf countries in recent hours, highlighting the need for regional and international cooperation to halt such military aggression.
