Bahrain's Interior Ministry said on Sunday an Iranian drone attack had damaged a water desalination plant.

"The Iranian aggression randomly bombs civilian targets and causes material damage to a water desalination plant following an attack by a drone," the ministry said in a statement.

Also Sunday, falling missile debris injured three people and damaged a university building in Bahrain, the ministry said.

"As a result of the blatant Iranian aggression, 3 people were injured and material damage was inflicted on a university building in the Muharraq area after missile fragments fell," it said in a statement, referring to an island area northwest of Manama.

On Saturday, Bahrain said it has intercepted 92 missiles and 151 drones since the start of the "brutal Iranian aggression.”
