Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior announced on Thursday that fuel storage tanks at a facility in Muharraq Governorate were targeted by missiles launched from Iran, adding that the relevant authorities are currently taking the necessary measures.
The ministry urged citizens and residents in the areas of Al-Hidd, Arad, Qalali, and Samaheej to remain inside their homes and close windows and ventilation openings as a precaution against possible exposure to smoke from the fire that is currently being brought under control.
Israel and the United States have been conducting airstrikes on Iran since Saturday, February 28, which resulted in the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. Since then, Tehran has responded by launching missiles and drones targeting Israel and countries in the region.
Iran has also imposed a maritime blockade on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz and has targeted oil tankers attempting to cross it.
