MANAMA (Bahrain), March 2 (Bernama-BNA) -- The General Command of the Bahrain Defence Force announces that its missile air-defence systems have successfully and effectively intercepted hostile Iranian attacks targeting the Kingdom, Bahrain News Agency (BNA) reported.

A total of 61 missiles and 34 unmanned aerial vehicles were destroyed and neutralised.

The General Command confirms that all defence systems remain at maximum readiness to ensure the immediate and decisive interception of any further threats.

The General Command further notes that the use of ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles to target civilian infrastructure and private property constitutes a grave violation of the principles of international humanitarian law, in particular the principles of distinction and proportionality.
