Bahrain's air defenses intercepted and destroyed multiple Iranian drones on June 10 amid rising regional tensions, Bahraini officials said [1]. Debris from the downed drones fell in populated areas of Manama and Hamad Town, causing damage to homes and vehicles, according to footage released by Bahrain on June 11 [2, 3].
An 11-year-old girl was injured by falling debris and received treatment at the scene, officials confirmed [4, 3, 5]. Bahraini civil defense and ambulance teams responded promptly to affected locations to provide assistance and manage the damage [2, 5].
The Bahraini army condemned the drone attacks, saying, "Tehran continues its systematic hostile approach through its sinful attacks using missiles and drones targeting civilians in Bahrain." It added that "deliberately targeting civilians and private property with missiles and drones constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law" [1].
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed it struck multiple US military targets in Kuwait and Bahrain between June 10 and 11, stating 18 sites were hit, although Bahrain has not independently confirmed these claims [5].
Officials urged the public to avoid remnants of the intercepted aerial attacks to prevent further injuries [1]. Bahrain continues to monitor the situation and maintain heightened air defenses amid ongoing regional tensions.
The authorities released additional footage on June 11 showing the extent of damage caused by the drone debris and confirmed ongoing investigations into the attacks and damages [2, 3, 4, 5].
