Sirens sound in Bahrain, explosion heard in city of Manama

Sirens sound in Bahrain, the country’s interior ministry says.

“The siren has been sounded… Citizens and residents are urged to remain calm and head to the nearest safe place,” a post reads on X.

An AFP correspondent in Manama reports hearing an explosion.

The alert comes two weeks into renewed US-Iran hostilities that have seen daily Iranian attacks on the island kingdom.
