Bahrain's air defences intercepted Iranian missiles and drones on Sunday, the Gulf kingdom's military said, after the US carried out new strikes against Iran.
The Bahraini military said it had "intercepted and destroyed a number of projectiles used in these treacherous Iranian attacks", adding that it was on "maximum alert".
Iran announced earlier that it had launched strikes against the US Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain and another base in Kuwait, in retaliation for US strikes on its territory.
