<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Several explosions rang out across Bahrain, an AFP correspondent said, after authorities sounded air raid sirens to warn of an attack.</p>
<p>"Loud" blasts were heard in the north of the island state, the correspondent said, in the first incident since Bahrain reported intercepting Iranian drones and missiles on June 28.</p>
<p>Iran's military, meanwhile, warned that any site enabling the United States to attack the country would be considered a "legitimate target".</p>
<p>"Any support provided to the aggressive American army to violate the sovereignty and territory of Islamic Iran will be a legitimate target of the armed forces," the military said in a statement. (Reporting by AFP)</p>
