Earlier, Bahrain’s Interior Ministry  said it had sounded warning sirens and urged residents to remain calm and seek shelter at the nearest safe location.

The developments followed reports by Iranian state media that Tehran had launched separate attacks on US targets in Kuwait and on the US Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain in retaliation for American strikes on Iranian territory.
