Three injuries, material damage to university building in Bahrain

The Bahraini Ministry of Interior (MOI) announced on Sunday that three people were injured and material damage was caused to a university building in the Muharraq area, northeast of Bahrain, as a result of missile fragments falling.

The Bahrain News Agency (BNA) reported that the General Command of the Bahrain Defence Force confirmed that the use of ballistic missiles and drones to target civilian facilities and private property constitutes a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and the United Nations Charter, and that these random criminal attacks represent a direct threat to regional peace and security.

Bahrain says Iran hit a desalination plant

Bahrain accused Iran of striking a desalination plant on Sunday, raising fears that civilian infrastructure may become fair game in the war.

Bahrain accused Iran of indiscriminately attacking civilian targets and damaging one of its desalination plants, though its electricity and water authority said supplies remained online.

Attacks have hit hotels, ports and residential towers and killed at least one person. The desalination plant strike came after Iran said a US airstrike damaged an Iranian desalination plant.
