Verified video and reports show a suspected Iranian Shahed‑type drone striking a high‑rise building in Manama, Bahrain’s capital as part of Tehran’s retaliatory campaign after recent US‑Israel attacks on Iran. The drone collided with the Era Views Tower, causing a fiery explosion and fire on upper floors, with emergency services responding to the scene. The incident occurred close to where Bahrain hosts the US Navy Fifth Fleet headquarters, highlighting the widening conflict’s spillover into Gulf states. Analysts note the attack underscores rising tensions and the risk to both military and civilian infrastructure in the region.
