Air raid sirens sounded in Bahrain and Kuwait early Wednesday following US retaliatory strikes against Iran. The US hit over 80 targets after Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Kuwaiti air defences intercepted hostile missiles and drones, while authorities urged residents to stay calm.

Air raid sirens sounded in Bahrain and Kuwait early Wednesday following US retaliatory strikes against Iran in response to Tehran's latest attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. "The siren has been sounded. Citizens and residents are urged to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place," Bahrain's Ministry of Interior said on X, without immediately specifying the reason for the alert. US officials told Axios that Iran's military launched drones toward Bahrain.

Kuwaiti air defences activated

The Kuwaiti Army confirmed on X that its air defences "are currently confronting hostile missile and drone attacks." The General Staff noted that if explosion sounds are heard, they are the result of air defence systems intercepting the attacks, urging everyone to follow security instructions. The alerts came shortly after the US military said it had completed a new round of strikes against Iran, hitting more than 80 targets in response to Iranian attacks on commercial vessels. US Central Command stated the strikes were conducted "as an immediate response" to Tehran's actions.
