## Summary

Bahrain said it intercepted Iranian drones aimed at a US military radar system, after explosions and sirens were reported overnight. The attack adds to repeated strikes on the Gulf state during the eight-month war and highlights the risks to US assets and regional security.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said six drones targeted a radar system at Al-Riffa helicopter base, while Bahrain said the drones were prevented from reaching their targets. Blasts were reported at about 4am and again around 6.30am; no casualties or damage were reported in a separate attack on Friday, when the US military said it had shot down two drones. Bahrain hosts a major US naval base, and the conflict has also disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil trade route.
