From BBC News.

Iran said it has launched its 35th wave of operations, as it continues its strikes across the region including in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait.

Saudi Arabia shot down missiles aimed at its military air base, and drones targeting its major oilfield, while the UAE said early this morning it was also responding to a barrage of missiles. Bahrain has warned residents to seek shelter.

There have been more than 10 suspected Iranian attacks on vessels operating around the Gulf since the war began.

The US is worried that the Iranians might start mining the Strait of Hormuz – they have before – and has attacked 16 mine-laying boats near the crucial water passageway.
