Reports emerging on February 28, 2026, indicate that a high-rise residential building in Manama, the capital of Bahrain, was struck by an Iranian drone amid rapidly escalating tensions in the Middle East. According to Bahraini authorities, several residential buildings were targeted, prompting immediate firefighting and rescue operations by civil defense teams. Visuals circulating online show a drone impact on the upper floors of a tower, followed by a large explosion and thick smoke rising into the night sky. The strike is believed to be part of a broader wave of Iranian retaliation across Gulf nations following earlier joint U.S.-Israeli military operations on Iranian targets. Bahrain, which hosts the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters, was among the countries affected. Explosions were also reported near military-linked areas, though no official confirmation of U.S. casualties has been released so far. The full extent of damage and civilian casualties remains under assessment as the situation continues to develop. The region remains on high alert as tensions intensify across multiple Gulf states.
