According to Channel 14 Israel, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it launched six drones at a US air defense radar facility at the Al-Rifa helicopter base in Bahrain. Iran claimed the drones hit their targets, though this has not been confirmed by US sources. Simultaneously, the Bahraini Interior Ministry issued shelter warnings, and Bahraini television reported the interception of an Iranian drone. Meanwhile, the Saudi-led coalition announced it intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthi militia from Yemen toward Riyadh, as well as a drone in the Kingdom's Eastern Province. Tehran, while threatening further escalation, accused Washington of using maritime escort operations as a cover for oil smuggling.
