In March 2026, a woman was killed in Bahrain during an Iranian attack, part of escalating tensions in the Gulf region. Several Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UAE, intercepted Iranian missiles and drones. Bahrain reported intercepting a large number of projectiles, while Saudi Arabia and Kuwait also downed drones. The attacks, which included strikes on energy infrastructure, occurred amid a US-Israeli war on Iran.
