Plumes of smoke rise above Bahrain's capital after a reported Iranian drone strike on a fuel storage facility in Muharraq, the home of Bahrain's International Airport.

Alarms have been sounded in Bahrain, the interior ministry has said.

It urged its citizens to 'remain calm, head to the nearest safe place, and follow the news through official channels'.

It is unknown why the alarm has been raised. Pictures previously showed plumes of smoke rising above Manama, the city's capital.

Oil will be coming down. That's just a matter of war that happens. You can almost predict it.

Israel has released an urgent evacuation warning for civilians in Qasr Naba, in the Baalbek region of Lebanon.

'[Israeli military] will attack military infrastructure belonging to the terrorist Hezbollah in the near time frame,' Avichay Adraee, Israel's Arab media spokesperson, said.

It comes after the IDF launched a series of attacks on Beirut last night, as the IDF claims to have struck ten Hezbollah-linked buildings in the southern part of the city.

A missile has hit an Italian base in Erbil, located in the semi-autonomous region of northern Iraq, during the night, Italy's defence ministry said.

The government department did not confirm who it believed to have launched the attack.

The Mediterranean country has around 300 soldiers in Erbil, who are training Kurdish military.

Erbil has been one of the main targets of Iran's revenge attacks as well as Hezbollah since the beginning of the war launched by the US and Israel against Iran.

A US military base is also understood to be located in Erbil.

Homes in Haniel, central Israel, have been hit by attacks reportedly launched by Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
