Bahrain's military said its air defences intercepted several Iranian aerial attacks. These were its first such interceptions since September.

The Revolutionary Guards said they launched six drones at US air defence radar at the Al-Rifaa helicopter base. The US military said it intercepted two Iranian drones without any damage.

Diplomatic efforts to end the almost nine-month war have yet to produce a breakthrough. Separately, the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted two Houthi ballistic missiles and three drones.
