Bahrain's Interior Ministry said a facility belonging to "a company" in the tiny Gulf state was set ablaze "as a result of Iranian aggression." Civil-defense units extinguished the fire, the ministry added on X, without elaborating on its cause or location.

Separately, Saudi Arabia's Defense Ministry said it "intercepted and destroyed" more than a dozen drones in the eastern part of the country, according to posts on X. Iran has been targeting civilian and energy infrastructure, diplomatic missions and U.S. bases in its Gulf neighbors since the war in the region started.
