Manama [Bahrain], March 16: Bahrain said its air defences intercepted and destroyed hundreds of aerial threats since the start of the Israeli-US war on Iran two weeks ago.
The General Command of the Bahrain Defence Force said its systems had shot down 125 missiles and 203 drones.
The small island nation - home to the US Navy's Fifth Fleet - has been among the most affected by Iranian strikes, which have hit ports, a hotel, a refinery and a water desalination plant.
At least one person has been killed in the attacks.
