DUBAI: Amazon’s cloud arm told AFP on Tuesday that its service in Bahrain had been disrupted, confirming an earlier report from Reuters, after drone attacks hit the region.
An Amazon Web Services (AWS) spokesperson said the disruption was ongoing, without specifying the exact location affected or any potential damage done.
“The AWS Bahrain Region has been disrupted as a result of the ongoing conflict,” the spokesperson said, adding that the company was helping affected customers migrate to AWS servers elsewhere in the world.
“We are working closely with local authorities and prioritising the safety of our personnel.”
Since the Middle East war erupted in late February, Bahrain and other Gulf countries have been regularly targeted by Iranian missile and drone strikes in retaliation for the US-Israeli campaign.
