Blasts heard in Bahrain's capital, Manama: AFP

Explosions were heard in Bahrain's capital, Manama, on Wednesday morning, according to an AFP journalist, hours after the United States announced a ceasefire with Iran.

The Gulf kingdom's interior ministry said in a statement that civil defense crews had succeeded in controlling a fire that broke out in a facility "targeted by the sinful Iranian aggression," with no injuries reported.
