Bahrain Defence Force’s air and missile defence systems successfully repelled a new wave of attacks targeting the Kingdom, intercepting and destroying 70 ballistic missiles and 59 Iranian drones, the National Communication Centre (NCC) announced.

The centre stressed that targeting civilian facilities and private property constitutes a grave violation of the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Bahrain and is a clear breach of international laws and norms.

It affirmed that the Kingdom reserves its full legal right to respond and to take all necessary measures to safeguard its sovereignty, stability and the safety of its citizens and residents.

The centre explained that the relevant authorities immediately dealt with limited debris resulting from the destruction of hostile targets at certain locations.

The NCC reiterated the importance of adhering to instructions issued by the competent authorities, urging the public to verify information through official sources and to refrain from circulating rumours, in order to promote awareness and national responsibility in the current situation.
