Bahrain announced Saturday that its territory was targeted by Iranian drone attacks, calling it “a blatant violation” of its sovereignty and international law.
The Bahraini Foreign Ministry, in a statement carried by the Bahrain News Agency, condemned the attack, saying it involved “a number of Iranian drones,” without disclosing the exact location or nature of the target.
The ministry said the incident early in the day endangered civilian lives and undermined regional efforts to de-escalate tensions, reaffirming Manama’s “full and legitimate right to defend its sovereignty” and calling on the UN Security Council to hold Tehran accountable.
