MANAMA, Mar 7: The Bahrain Defence Force (BDF) General Command announced that, through the sustained vigilance of its personnel, BDF air defence systems continue to intercept successive waves of Iranian aggression. Since the onset of these attacks, 84 missiles and 147 drones targeting the Kingdom of Bahrain have been intercepted and destroyed.
The General Command expressed its pride in the advanced combat readiness and exceptional alertness demonstrated by its personnel, and commended their sustained operational excellence in defending the Kingdom. Their outstanding performance is a source of deep reassurance and firm confidence that the skies of Bahrain remain protected.
The General Command urged all residents to remain at home and venture out only when necessary, exercising the utmost caution at all times. The public was further urged to keep well clear of affected sites and any suspicious objects, to refrain from filming military operations or areas where debris has fallen, to avoid spreading unverified information, and to rely solely on official sources for updates, alerts, and guidance.
The General Command noted that the use of ballistic missiles and drones to target civilian areas and private property constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the United Nations Charter, and that these indiscriminate attacks represent a direct threat to regional peace and security.
