Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the fighting in the Middle East.
Iran has targeted an airbase in Bahrain in the latest resumption of strikes since September, prompting public warnings and sirens to ring out in the Gulf kingdom this morning.
According to Iranian media, the IRGC said it had sent six drones to attack a US radar system hosted in the US-allied island state.
Explosions were heard around the capital, Manama, but Bahrain authorities say their air defences intercepted the attacks before they reached their targets.
