Bahrain's Defence Force announced Sunday that its air defense systems had successfully intercepted and destroyed 61 missiles and 34 unmanned aerial vehicles launched by Iran against the kingdom, while warning citizens to remain indoors as the threat persists.
The General Command confirmed that all defense systems remain at maximum readiness for immediate interception of any further Iranian attacks. The announcement came as Iran continued its unprecedented missile and drone campaign across the Gulf region.
A Flagrant Violation of International Law
Bahrain did not mince its words. The use of ballistic missiles and drones to target civilian infrastructure and private property constitutes, according to the General Command, a "grave violation of international humanitarian law », specifically the principles of distinction and proportionality. These attacks, it stressed, represent a direct threat to regional peace and security.
The kingdom reaffirmed its full right to take all necessary measures to defend its sovereignty.
The UAE Ministry of Defence has released a staggering assessment of the Iranian assault on the country since attacks began on February 28, 2026, revealing the full scale of one of the most intense missile and drone barrages ever launched against a single nation.
U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox News on Sunday that 48 leaders have been killed in U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.
Saudi Arabia intercepted Iranian missiles targeting two critical sites in the kingdom Sunday afternoon, the King Khalid International Airport and the Prince Sultan Air Base, which houses American military personnel.
