“Danger alert.” The Bahraini Ministry of Interior warns at dawn on Sunday and asks to go to the nearest safe place

At dawn on Sunday, the Bahraini Ministry of Interior issued two “danger” warnings, asking citizens and residents to go to the nearest safe place, without providing additional details. This came in two posts, a few hours apart, on the official Bahraini Ministry of Interior account on the X platform (formerly Twitter), at dawn on Sunday, in which it was stated: “Alert of danger...

The Ministry of the Interior calls on citizens and residents to remain calm, go to the nearest safe place, and follow the news through official channels, in order to preserve public safety.” As of the writing of this report, the Bahraini Interior has not issued an update to its previous two blog posts, while Ufoq News in Arabic has reached out to obtain a comment via email.

It is noteworthy that this warning comes about two days after the Iranian Revolutionary Guard claimed to have “targeted and destroyed” an American early warning radar in Bahrain, at dawn on Friday, in response to what it described as an “air aggression” against a communications tower in the city of Sirik, according to what was reported by the official Iranian news agency, on Friday, while the US Central Command “Centcom” denied the validity of this. Centcom said in a post on its official account on the “X” platform, previously Twitter, on Friday, that “the allegation is that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced today that it attacked an American early warning radar in Bahrain,” explaining that “the truth is that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard launched two unidirectional attack drones towards Bahrain, and they were shot down by American forces.”
