Air raid sirens are once again sounding across Bahrain after Iran launched a new wave of ballistic missiles and one-way attack drones targeting sites in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, and Iraq.

According to the New York Times, citing U.S. officials, the soldier killed in Iraq while an Iranian one-way attack drone was being rendered safe was not an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technician. Instead, the soldier was struck by blast fragmentation and debris when the drone was detonated.
