Bahrain has reported that residential buildings were damaged during the Iranian attacks. The extent of the damage and any potential casualties have not yet been detailed.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced on Sunday it had carried out a third day of retaliatory strikes, further straining a fragile Pakistan-brokered ceasefire. The IRGC claimed it destroyed eight US military facilities at the Ali al-Salem base in Kuwait and the Fifth Fleet naval base in Port Salman, Bahrain.

A US official confirmed attacks on US facilities but stated there were no reported American casualties or major damage, adding that the situation was still unfolding. In the Gulf, air raid sirens were heard in Bahrain, where authorities later reported an Iranian attack had damaged a residential building with no casualties. The Kuwaiti army announced it had intercepted two ballistic missiles without any damage or injuries.

Following the incidents, Bahrain has urged the United Nations Security Council to convene an urgent session. The IRGC stated that US strikes had violated the ceasefire and warned this could lead to a “complete halt of all diplomatic processes.” The Guards also said they were taking measures to control traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.
