Bahrain Intercepts Iranian Missile Barrage Targeting Alba Industrial Plant
Bahrain's national aluminum producer, Alba, confirmed that its facilities were targeted and struck during a large-scale Iranian missile and drone attack on March 29-30, 2026. While the kingdom's air defense systems successfully intercepted 174 missiles and 391 drones since the conflict's onset, some impacts caused minor injuries to two employees at the facility. Bahraini officials stated the strikes are part of a persistent Iranian campaign against Gulf states that has significantly disrupted regional commerce and aviation since February.
