UAV event in Bahrain on Thu 5th March 2026

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched a drone attack on an Amazon data center in Bahrain, Iran’s state-affiliated Fars News Agency reported Wednesday.

The attack was carried out to identify how such centers support the military and intelligence activities of Tehran’s adversaries, Fars said.

Amazon Web Services, the company’s cloud computing division, said Monday that a drone had struck near one of its facilities in Bahrain, causing “physical impacts to our infrastructure.”

Iranian drones have also targeted two Amazon facilities in the United Arab Emirates.

“These strikes have caused structural damage, disrupted power delivery to our infrastructure, and in some cases required fire suppression activities that resulted in additional water damage,” AWS said.

Fars reported that the attacks are parts of the IRGC’s recent operations against Amazon data centers in Dubai and other strategic centers in the region.
