An Iranian drone attack that injured an 11-year-old girl and damaged homes and vehicles in Bahrain has been strongly condemned by MP Ahmed Al Salloom, who described it as a direct assault on the Kingdom's sovereignty and the safety of its people.

Mr Al Salloom, chairman of Parliament's Financial and Economic Affairs Committee, said the incident highlighted the dangers posed to civilians when attacks reach populated areas.

The girl was injured when debris fell from drones that had been intercepted and destroyed. Several homes and vehicles were also damaged.

He said the attack constituted a violation of international law, established norms and humanitarian values, warning that civilians and residential neighbourhoods must never be placed at risk.

Mr Al Salloom praised the Bahrain Defence Force, National Guard, Interior Ministry, Civil Defence and health teams for their swift response to the incident.

He said their preparedness helped protect lives, limit damage and manage the aftermath effectively.

The MP stressed that such attacks would not undermine Bahrain's unity, noting that citizens would continue to stand behind His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister.

He added that Bahrain's security and stability remain essential to economic development and regional prosperity, warning that threats against the Kingdom also pose risks to wider regional security.

Mr Al Salloom called on the international community to take a firm stance against attacks targeting civilians and to hold accountable those responsible for destabilising states and threatening public safety.

He said Bahrain would remain resilient through the unity of its people and the strength of its national institutions.
