Iran’s Revolutionary Guards claim drone strikes on a US radar system in Bahrain, prompting air raid sirens and shelter warnings for residents

MANAMA: Sirens sounded in Bahrain and authorities told residents to seek shelter on Sunday as Iran’s Guards said they had attacked a military base in the Gulf nation.

Alarm sirens blared, according to an AFP journalist, while authorities posted several alerts on social media, instructing people to shelter, but did not specify the source of the threat.

The interior ministry in an X post urged “residents to remain calm, proceed to the nearest safe location, and follow news through official channels for the protection of public safety”.
