Bahrain's interior ministry said an 11-year-old girl was injured and several homes and vehicles were damaged by falling debris after air defences intercepted Iranian drones over Manama and Hamad Town. Iranian state media said the drones targeted the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, which is headquartered in Bahrain.
Why it matters
Even intercepted drones are hurting civilians in the Gulf states that host U.S. forces, and Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and the GCC condemned the attacks that morning.
