Bahrain says Bapco fire extinguished after Iranian attack




A fire that broke out at a warehouse belonging to Bahrain’s Bapco energy company following an Iranian attack has been extinguished, the Bahrain News Agency reported.

Authorities said emergency teams had responded to the blaze after the strike on the facility.

Earlier, the interior ministry said “Civil Defence is taking measures to control a fire that broke out as a result of the Iranian aggression targeting one of the facilities,” and confirmed that sirens were sounded, urging residents to remain calm and move to the nearest safe place.
