DOHA: Qatar strongly condemned what it described as an Iranian attack targeting buildings in Bahrain that house members of the Qatari naval forces participating in a joint Gulf military framework, calling the incident a “brazen hostile act” and a violation of Bahrain’s sovereignty.
In a statement issued Friday, Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the targeted facilities were located in scattered areas of Bahrain and house personnel involved in the Unified Maritime Operations Center under the Unified Military Command of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
The ministry said the attack posed a direct threat to Bahrain’s security and stability as well as regional security, adding that all Qatari naval personnel present in the targeted buildings were safe and unharmed.
The condemnation came amid continued interceptions of Iranian drones across the region.
Explosions were heard over Manama on Friday, as interceptions continued.
