Iran's IRGC says drones hit U.S. air defense radar station in Bahrain

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Sunday that its aerospace force had targeted a U.S. air defense radar station in Bahrain in a drone attack in the preceding hours.

The attack, carried out with six drones against the radar system at the Al-Riffa helicopter base, marked the second phase of the "decisive and crushing" retaliatory response to the U.S. Army's "flagrant aggression" against Iran, the IRGC said in a statement posted on its official news outlet Sepah News.

It added that the United States, "which has faced complete failure in its plan to smuggle oil in the Strait of Hormuz under the guise of escorting ships," is now attempting to divert global public attention through "small and misguided" actions from the reality that the strait is closed.

"Any aggression by the U.S. enemy will be met with a harsher and more crushing response," the IRGC added.

Also on Sunday, the IRGC Navy said that two "violating" oil tankers attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz through an "unauthorized" route had exploded and caught fire after hitting naval mines.

The Bahrain Defense Force announced on the same day that its air defense systems had intercepted and destroyed multiple aerial targets from Iran.

Streets came alive as tens of thousands of Miao people gathered in Leishan County of Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture on Thursday to celebrate the Miao New Year.

Grand parades, intangible cultural heritage displays, and Lusheng antiphonal singing made the festival unforgettable. "It happens to be the child's autumn break, which also coincides with the weekend, so I brought my child along to feel the vibe," said Chen Junli, a tourist from Zunyi City of southwest China's Guizhou Province.

According to data from the culture and tourism department of Leishan County, about 300,000 tourist visits are expected during the autumn break.
