Fresh attacks across the Middle East

Middle East countries are reporting more incoming aerial attacks Monday morning.

Here’s what we’re hearing and seeing:Iran: Hours after Iran named its new supreme leader, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced new missile launches. And Israel launched another “wave of strikes” on what the military said was Iranian missile launch sites and regime infrastructure. A CNN team in Tehran reported that several thuds sounded across the capital from what appeared to be air strikes.

Lebanon: The Israeli military also said it struck Hezbollah infrastructure in the capital Beirut. Plumes of smoke could be seen rising from the city’s southern suburbs in video from Reuters news agency.

Separately, videos show a fire at Beirut’s Ramada hotel and damage to an apartment at the hotel after an Israeli attack. It comes after the Israeli military said it carried out a strike in Beirut overnight that killed several senior commanders from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Quds Force.

Bahrain: Videos shared on social media and geolocated by CNN show a large fire and thick smoke billowing from an industrial zone housing the national oil company, BAPCO. The company later served notice of force majeure on its operations. Authorities previously reported that at least 32 people were wounded, when Iranian drone strikes hit the town of Sitra, which is about 6 kilometers (nearly 4 miles) from the industrial area. Children were among the wounded in the attacks, which targeted residential areas close to energy infrastructure, according to the National Communication Center.

United Arab Emirates: A CNN team on the ground in Abu Dhabi heard loud booms, and said it was some of the loudest bangs they’ve heard since the start of the war. The defense ministry said the sounds were a result of its air defense systems intercepting “ballistic missiles as well as fighter jets intercepting drones and cruisers.”

 

Saudi Arabia: Four drones headed toward the Shaybah oil field – one of the region’s largest – were intercepted and destroyed in the Rub’ al Khali vast desert, the defense ministry said on X.

 

Kuwait: A drone was shot down by Kuwait’s National Guard “at one of the sites under its protection.” The force said it shot down the drone “as part of efforts to secure vital facilities.”

Qatar: Armed forces intercepted a missile attack, the defense ministry said on X.
