Rising Toll Across the Gulf

The incident brings the total number of people killed across Gulf states to five since February 28.

Civilian Sites Under Fire

Since the escalation began, civilian infrastructure across the region has reportedly come under attack. Airports, seaports, residential buildings, and hotels are among the sites said to have been hit, heightening fears of further instability.

Video footage circulating online is said to show the aftermath of the strike, though independent verification remains limited as tensions continue to rise across the Gulf.
