Iran carried out a drone attack targeting a U.S. military installation in Bahrain on Sunday morning. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reported deploying six drones against a U.S. air defence radar facility at Al-Riffa air base, according to Daily Post Nigeria. While Iran claimed it had struck a base, The Hill reported that Bahrain stated it had intercepted several aerial attacks before they hit their targets.

Daily Post Nigeria added that Bahrain's military reported intercepting and destroying the drones before they could reach their targets, and noted that air raid sirens sounded across the country as the Interior Ministry urged residents to move to safe locations.

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the renewed attack in the strongest terms, describing it as a flagrant violation of Bahrain's sovereignty and a threat to its security and stability. The UAE reiterated its full solidarity with Bahrain and support for measures to safeguard its stability, according to Gulf News. This incident marks Iran's second attempt to strike Bahrain in three days, following a previous drone assault on Friday, Daily Post Nigeria reported.
