Air raid sirens sound in Bahrain: interior ministry

Manama, July 19, 2026 (AFP) AFP

Bahrain's interior ministry said overnight Sunday to Monday that its air raid sirens had sounded.

"The siren has been sounded," it said in a statement posted on X. "Citizens and residents are urged to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place."

The island kingdom of Bahrain, host of the US Fifth Fleet, has been targeted by Iranian strikes in recent days.

Kuwait and Bahrain, which host US military installations, have borne the brunt of attacks by Iran on its Gulf neighbours since hostilities resumed this month despite a ceasefire and memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran.

Bahrain has accused Iran of targeting civilians in its attacks.
