Manama [Bahrain], April 5 (ANI): Iranian drones struck the Bahraini Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company on Sunday, causing fires in several operational units, Al Jazeera reported. The fire was later brought under control and no casualties were reported, according to the Bahrain News Agency. Damage assessment to the inventory is underway.
The incident forms part of wider regional hostilities after Iran retaliated to US-Israel strikes. Earlier, two power generation units in Kuwait were shut down following an Iranian drone attack on two power and water desalination plants, the Kuwait Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy Ministry said, reporting no casualties.
Spokesperson Fatima Abbas Jawhar Hayat said technical and emergency teams have begun work under approved emergency plans, coordinating with relevant authorities to ensure the safety and stability of electricity and water systems. “All technical teams are working around the clock to guarantee the continuity of services,” she affirmed.
Al Jazeera also reported a drone attack that triggered a fire at Kuwait’s Shuwaikh Oil Sector Complex. Iran had reportedly attacked the United Arab Emirates as well.
Meanwhile, the Israeli Air Force said it struck more than 120 targets in Iran in the last 24 hours. “24 HOUR RECAP: The IAF struck 120+ targets of the Iranian regime in central & western Iran. Targets included: ballistic missiles array sites, UAV production and launching sites, & air defence sites,” the Israeli Defence Force posted on X.
The Israeli military also said it has killed 90 “terrorists” in southern Lebanon since the conflict began on February 28, with two Hezbollah militants killed in the last 24 hours, Al Jazeera reported.
The hostilities in the region began on February 28 with the US and Israel’s joint strikes against Iran, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran’s retaliation and strikes by its proxies have widened the conflict across the Gulf region, disrupting oil and natural gas trade. (ANI)
