In the statement, a Bahraini government spox said the missile successfully “intercepted” an Iranian drone mid-air, saving lives.

“The damage & injuries sustained were not a result of a direct impact to the ground of either the Patriot interceptor or the Iranian drone,” the spox said.

Neither #Bahrain nor the #US has provided evidence that an Iranian drone was involved in the #Mahazza incident.
