Bahrain's defence forces have intercepted and destroyed several Iranian aerial attacks targeting the country on Sunday.
In a post on Instagram, the General Command of the Bahrain Defence Force said Iran continues its systematic aggression targeting the kingdom.
The authority affirmed its readiness to protect Bahrain and remains on high alert against any Iranian attacks.
The announcement was shared after Bahrain had issued two separate alerts about potential threats in posts on X early on Sunday, the first such warnings by the Gulf country since September.
Bahrain, home to the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, urged citizens and residents to remain calm and proceed to the nearest safe location, its interior ministry said. It did not provide further details on the threats.
