Security Alert - Imminent drone/missile attack in Bahrain
There are media reported threats of missiles/drones over Bahrain. The U.S. Embassy in Manama urges U.S. citizens in Bahrain to shelter in place, review security plans in the event of an attack, and to stay alert in case of additional future attacks. U.S. Embassy personnel are sheltering in place.
Actions to take:
โข If you hear a loud explosion, or if sirens are activated, immediately seek cover.
โข If in a home or building, go to the lowest level of the structure with the fewest exterior walls, windows, and openings; close any doors and sit near an interior wall, away from any windows or openings.
โข If you are outdoors, immediately seek cover in a hardened structure; if that is not possible, lie down and cover your head with your hands.
โข Be aware that even if the incoming missile or drone is intercepted, falling debris represents a significant risk.
โข After the attack, stay away from any debris, and monitor major news outlets for official guidance.
