Iran bombs US military bases: Sirens roar in the capital of Bahrain, the sky is temporarily closed

Bahrain has temporarily closed its airspace. This is reported by the local agency BNA with reference to the Ministry of Transport of the country.

"The Civil Aviation Department of the Ministry of Transport and Telecommunications has announced the temporary suspension of air navigation in the skies of the Kingdom of Bahrain as a precautionary measure in light of recent regional developments," the statement said.

It is noted that the relevant authorities are closely monitoring the situation around the clock in coordination with international partners.

Meanwhile, the telegram channel "Pool No. 3" claims that sirens are heard in the capital of the country, Manama.

Recall, the US Navy base is located in Manama.

"The air raid sirens sounded in Bahrain, a Gulf state very close to Qatar, confirmed by several local residents. The headquarters of the US 5th Fleet is located in Bahrain. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the country asked citizens and residents to "remain calm and head to the nearest safe place," according to a statement published on the social network X," The New York Times writes meanwhile.

Sirens sounded in Bahrain to announce the "end of danger," the newspaper later added, citing several local residents who received mobile alerts from the country's Interior Ministry.

As previously reported by EADaily, all US warships left the naval base in Bahrain and moved to The Persian Gulf. This was reported by the telegram channel "Ostashko important" with reference to the media and public.

Iran launched several missiles at US military bases in the Middle East in response to a US strike on its nuclear facilities. This was reported by Axios with reference to one Israeli and one Arab official.

At least three Iranian missiles hit the American base of Al-Udeid in Qatar. This was reported by the newspaper "Strana" with reference to the state television and radio company of Iran.

The Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar is the largest US military facility in the region, but in recent weeks many aircraft and base personnel have been evacuated, Axios notes.
