Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has announced that it has launched 6 attack drones targeting an American air defense radar facility at the Al-Rifa helicopter base in Bahrain, claiming successful strikes in retaliation for recent American military attacks on Iranian territory.
Bahrain issued 2 nationwide security alerts, activated alarms and called residents to seek shelter. The Bahraini military has confirmed that it intercepted and destroyed several Iranian aerial threats before they reached their destinations.
The Revolutionary Guards defined the operation as its second phase of retaliation, and warned that further US attacks would trigger an even stronger response.
