🔶 The IRGC claimed it targeted a US radar at the Al Rifa‘a base in Bahrain with a drone called “Hedef”

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed that it targeted the air-defense site radar of the United States at the “Al Rifa‘a” helicopter base in Bahrain with “six” drones called “Hedef.” In an IRGC statement published on Sunday, 24 Aban, it said that the drone strike was “the second phase of the response to the attack by the US Army.” The IRGC claimed that “accurate and successful hits” from these drones were heard in different areas of Bahrain, but it did not provide details about the extent of damage.

As reported by Agence France-Presse, at the same time as the IRGC announced the attack on a military base in Bahrain, warning sirens sounded in the country, and Bahraini officials asked people to go to shelters. In a message on the X social network, Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior asked citizens to “remain calm, go to the nearest safe location, and, to maintain public security, follow news through official channels.”

The ministry did not provide further details about the possible threats or the source of the threat.
