Authorities in Bahrain said security, defence and public service systems remain on alert as officials continue to monitor regional developments and maintain readiness to protect the public.

Speaking during the National Communication Centre daily briefing, Captain Abdullah Al-Mannai of the Ministry of Interior,said the General Directorate of Traffic has taken legal action against 45 drivers for deliberately producing loud and disturbing noises from their vehicles.

He said the behaviour caused fear among residents and disrupted public calm, adding that the violations were addressed in accordance with traffic regulations.

Al-Mannai said Bahrain’s military and security authorities continue to operate around the clock as part of an integrated system aimed at safeguarding the Kingdom and its residents. He also noted that the Interior Minister, His Excellency Shaikh Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa, recently visited the General Directorate of Civil Defence to review operational readiness.

During the visit, the Minister condemned the Iranian aggression and conveyed the appreciation of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, to Civil Defence personnel for their efforts in protecting the community.

Al-Mannai also clarified that emergency sirens and wireless alert systems are activated only when a direct threat to targets within Bahrain is detected. He said the systems are not used unless there is an immediate risk.
