Bahrain reports Iranian attack after US-Iran ceasefire announcement

Bahrain on Wednesday said that it was targeted by an Iranian attack shortly after the announcement of a ceasefire between the US and Iran.

The Interior Ministry said civil defense teams successfully contained a fire that broke out at a facility following the attack and that no casualties were reported.

Earlier, the ministry said that warning sirens were activated and urged citizens and residents to remain calm, seek shelter in the nearest safe location.

The attacks came hours after US President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he agreed “to suspend the bombing and attack of Iran for a period of two weeks.”

Regional escalations raged when Israel and the US launched an offensive against Iran on Feb. 28, killing more than 1,340 people, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iranian authorities have not updated the toll in recent days.

Iran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and damage to infrastructure while disrupting global markets and aviation.
