Bahrain's air defense systems have intercepted and destroyed Iranian drones, the country's state television reported on Sunday.
Earlier that same day, alarm sirens sounded in Bahrain, and authorities urged residents to take shelter in safe locations.
Bahrain's Ministry of Interior posted a message on the X social network directed to the population, calling for calm, instructing them to go to nearby safe places, and to follow updates from official sources.
The incident occurred against the backdrop of an ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran that has lasted eight months, raising security concerns throughout the region.
Earlier, Iran announced that six of its aerospace force drones attacked the radar station of the American air defense system located at Bahrain's Al Rifa helicopter base early Sunday morning.
