Smoke trails were seen over the skies of Manama, Bahrain, after missiles launched by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or IRGC, were intercepted by Bahraini air defense systems.
Dramatic footage captured the smoke left by the intercepted projectiles as emergency services and security forces responded across parts of the Bahraini capital.
According to Iranian state media, the IRGC said the missile launches were part of its military response to recent U.S. strikes on Iranian territory.
Bahraini authorities confirmed that air defense systems engaged incoming missiles, while emergency teams were deployed to inspect affected areas and ensure public safety.
Officials have not released reports of significant casualties or major damage following the interceptions.
The incident marks another escalation in the growing confrontation involving Iran, the United States, and regional allies, raising fresh concerns over security across the Gulf.
Several countries have urged restraint and renewed diplomatic efforts to prevent further military escalation, warning that continued hostilities could threaten regional stability and international shipping.
As tensions remain high, governments across the region continue monitoring developments while emergency services remain on alert amid fears of further attacks.
