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 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.
