Iranian strike on Bahrain fuel depot kills several
An Iranian missile strike on a fuel depot near Bahrain's airport sparks a large fire, killing several and injuring others, amid ongoing regional conflict.
On March 25, 2026, an Iranian missile struck a fuel depot in the Muharraq Governorate near Bahrain International Airport, causing a massive fire and significant damage. The attack killed at least three people and injured dozens more, according to local authorities. Bahraini air defenses intercepted several Iranian missiles and drones earlier in the day, but this strike hit its target, further destabilizing the region. The fuel depot is a critical infrastructure site supplying aviation and commercial fuel, and the blast has disrupted airport operations and nearby communities. Bahrain has condemned the attack as part of a broader Iranian campaign targeting Gulf states and has called for international action to de-escalate tensions.
