Sirens in Bahrain after Iran claims to have launched retaliatory attacks on US military targets

Sirens sounded in Bahrain early Thursday local time, just minutes after Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claimed to have launched fresh attacks targeting US military bases in the Gulf region.

“The siren has been sounded… Citizens and residents are urged to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place,” Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said in a post on X.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has claimed to have launched retaliatory attacks on 18 “significant targets,” including an airbase in Bahrain and two in Kuwait, according to Iran’s state-affiliated IRNA News Agency.
There have not been any reports of any air raid sirens in Kuwait in recent hours.
