SAEDNEWS: In the early hours of Thursday, as Iran reportedly launched a wave of missile and drone attacks against U.S. military positions across the region, warning sirens were activated at American military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Jordan.
According to Saednews reports, air raid sirens sounded early Thursday morning across several countries in the Gulf region. The interior ministries of Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar issued statements confirming that the alerts were activated following the reported launch of ballistic missiles from Iran. Shortly afterward, videos and images circulated on social media and in news reports showing Patriot air defense systems being fired in the three countries to intercept the incoming projectiles.
The reported attacks were said to target locations associated with U.S. military forces. Iraqi media outlet Sabereen News claimed that bases hosting American troops in Kuwait came under heavy attack, with local sources alleging that explosions were loud enough to be heard in some border areas of Iraq.
Additional reports also claimed that the headquarters of the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet in Bahrain was targeted in a combined attack involving missiles and one-way attack drones. Images circulating online, which have not been independently verified, were said to show a direct strike on the strategic military facility.
The reported military activity was not limited to the Persian Gulf. Minutes after the initial attacks, local sources stated that air raid sirens also sounded at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan's Azraq region, a facility known to host U.S. military personnel.
Military officials in the affected countries said that air defense systems remained engaged in intercepting incoming threats. As of the time of these reports, no independently verified information regarding casualties or the extent of the damage had been released.
The reported attacks, spanning from Jordan to Bahrain and reportedly involving key U.S. military installations, have intensified concerns about the possibility of a broader regional escalation. Officials have not yet announced any confirmed response, and developments continue to unfold.
