Explosions heard in Bahrain as Iran says any site enabling US attack is 'legitimate target' Several explosions rang out across Bahrain, an AFP correspondent said, after authorities sounded air raid sirens to warn of an attack. "Loud" blasts were heard in the north of the island state, the correspondent said, in the first incident since Bahrain reported intercepting Iranian drones and missiles on June 28. Iran's military, meanwhile, warned that any site enabling the United States to attack the country would be considered a "legitimate target".
