Red alert sirens across Israel
Red alert sirens were activated across Israel’s Negev and Dead Sea regions on Sunday as the conflict in West Asia escalated.
Continuous explosions were heard across Tel Aviv on Sunday, caused by Israel’s interceptor missiles targeting incoming Iranian projectiles, Al Arabiya reported.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Sunday that it had targeted 27 American military bases in West Asia. “We targeted 27 sites of US bases in the region," the force said.
Multiple explosions were reported in Manama, Bahrain’s capital, on Sunday as residents heard loud blasts. Air raid sirens were also activated in Bahrain and neighbouring Kuwait, signalling heightened alert in the Gulf.
The IRGC also claimed that an MST-class combat support ship carrying fuel for American vessels in the Indian Ocean was hit by Iranian Qadr 380 missiles.“The IRGC Navy, along with the air force, will keep the gates of hell open to enemy units," it said.
UN condemns escalation
The United Nations has condemned the developments in West Asia. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said, “Condemn massive military strikes by US and Israel against Iran and subsequent attacks by Iran; witnessing grave threats to international peace and security, there is no viable alternative to peaceful settlement of international disputes."
The incidents come amid escalating regional tensions following US-Israeli strikes on Iran, with Tehran and allied groups reportedly conducting retaliatory attacks on military installations across the region.
