Bahrain accused Iran of indiscriminately attacking civilian targets and damaging one of its desalination plants, though its electricity and water authority said supplies remained online.

The island nation, home to the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, has been among the countries targeted by Iranian drones and missiles. Attacks on Bahrain have hit hotels, ports and residential towers, and have killed at least one person.
