Reuters

Nov 15 (Reuters) - ‌Bahrain issued two separate alerts about ​potential ‌threats in posts on social ‌media platform X on Sunday, the ‌first such warnings by the Gulf country since September.

Bahrain, home to the US ⁠Navy's Fifth Fleet, ‌urged citizens and ⁠residents to remain calm ​and proceed to the nearest safe location, ​its interior ministry ​said. ‌It did not provide further ​details on ⁠the threats.

The warnings ‌came two days ​after ​Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they attacked a US early-warning radar in Bahrain. ‌The US military denied the claim, saying it ‌had ​intercepted two Iranian drones without any harm caused.
