The attack came a day after an Iranian missile strike sparked a blaze at Bahrain’s main state-owned oil refinery, as Tehran pressed attacks across the Gulf. “Iranian aggression targeted a hotel & 2 residential buildings in Manama,” Bahrain’s interior ministry posted on X, reporting “no loss of life”. It said the attack sparked a fire in one of the residential buildings, which had been extinguished.
