Iranian attack triggers huge blaze at Bahrain’s Muharraq government facility

Bahrain's interior ministry has released a video of a huge fire following Iranian attacks at a fuel tank storage facility in Muharraq Governorate, northeast of the country’s capital, Manama.

Bahrain said on Wednesday, 11 March, that its military had intercepted over 170 drones and over 100 missiles since Iran started targeting countries across the region, following the U.S. and Israeli attack on Tehran.

The U.N. Security Council voted Wednesday to approve a resolution demanding a halt to Iran’s “egregious attacks” on its Gulf neighbors.

Bahrain is home to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet headquarters.
