Civil defence teams extinguish fire as authorities confirm no casualties despite material damage to Manama properties
Manama, Bahrain — An Iranian attack targeted a hotel and two residential buildings in central Manama early Friday, Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior reported, causing material damage but no loss of life.
Civil defence teams responding to the incident successfully extinguished a fire that had broken out in a flat within one of the two residential structures. The ministry confirmed that while properties sustained damage, there were no casualties reported.
Authorities had earlier issued urgent warnings across social media platforms after sirens sounded throughout the capital. Residents and citizens were instructed to remain calm, follow safety instructions, and move to the nearest secure locations while emergency services assessed and managed the situation.
The attack represents a significant escalation in the Gulf region amid ongoing tensions involving Israeli and US strikes on Iran. Further details regarding the specific nature of the strike and the targeted facilities remain limited.
Officials continue to monitor the situation as civil defence operations conclude at the affected sites.
