Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said early on Tuesday that a 29-year-old woman was killed and eight others were wounded as the result of a blatant Iranian attack on a residential building in the capital Manama.

The Bahrain Defense Force General Command confirmed that air defense systems continue to confront successive waves of what it described as Iranian terrorist attacks, noting that since the start of the aggression they have destroyed 102 missiles and 173 drones targeting the country.

In a statement, the General Command denounced the use of ballistic missiles and drones to target civilian facilities and private property dubbing it as a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and the United Nations Charter.

It stressed that these indiscriminate attacks pose a direct threat to regional peace and security.

It also urged everyone to remain at home and only go out in cases of extreme necessity, while exercising the highest levels of caution to ensure their safety.

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Secretary-General Jasem Albudaiwi “strongly condemned” on Saturday the latest attempts by Yemen’s Houthi militias to target Saudi Arabia.

Albudaiwi stressed that GCC member states stand in full solidarity with the Kingdom, backing all measures it undertakes to safeguard its security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

He also called on the international community to adopt a decisive stance to end these recurrent terrorist attacks and hold the perpetrators accountable.
