Bahrain Reports Calm Skies for 24 Hours, Maintains High Military Alert Amid Ceasefire

MANAMA, Apr 14: The Bahrain Defense Force has announced that all its units and weapons systems are operating at the highest levels of readiness and defensive preparedness amid ongoing regional tensions.

In a statement, the military said that since the start of what it described as “Iranian aggressions,” it has successfully intercepted and destroyed 194 missiles and 523 drones that targeted the Kingdom of Bahrain.

The Bahrain Defense Force said its air defense systems remain fully deployed to counter any further threats, emphasizing continued vigilance and operational readiness.

The statement comes amid heightened security concerns in the region, with Gulf states maintaining elevated defense postures in response to escalating cross-border attacks and missile activity.
