The Bahrain Defence Force (BDF) General Command has announced that its air defence system, through the vigilance of its personnel, has intercepted and destroyed 182 missiles and 400 drones targeting the Kingdom of Bahrain since the onset of hostile terrorist Iranian aggression.

In a statement carried by the Bahrain News Agency, the BDF General Command emphasised 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.

"These indiscriminate attacks represent a direct threat to regional peace and security," it added.

The General Command expressed its pride in the exceptional combat readiness and vigilance demonstrated by BDF personnel, and commended their sustained operational effectiveness in defending the Kingdom. The performance of Bahrain's forces continues to inspire confidence that the Kingdom's skies remain secure.

The General Command urged all members of the public to exercise the utmost caution for their personal safety.  Citizens and residents are advised to:  Keep clear of affected areas and any suspicious objects; refrain from filming or photographing military operations or debris sites; avoid spreading unverified information; and consult only official and government media channels for updates, alerts, and advisories.
