Missile attacks reported across Gulf and Israel after ceasefire announced

Sirens are blaring throughout the Gulf region and in Israel as multiple nations report incoming missiles early on Wednesday. This follows an announcement by President Donald Trump that the US has agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran. Both Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates have stated they are taking steps to intercept incoming drone and missile threats through posts on X from their military branches. The Interior Ministry of Bahrain confirmed that sirens were sounding and urged residents to find safety. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's Civil Defense issued an early warning about possible danger in the central Al-Kharj area. Israel's military reported that it had detected several missiles launched from Iran and was in the process of intercepting these threats. Emergency teams are responding to various impact sites in central Israel, as noted by Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA). President Trump made the ceasefire announcement at approximately 6:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, but he did not mention when it would take effect. Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei also instructed all military branches to cease firing, according to Iran's state broadcaster IRIB, which reported this around 8:30 p.m. ET. Throughout the conflict, Iran has claimed a decentralized defense strategy, allowing its regional military leaders to operate with a degree of independence based on predetermined target lists. This approach may mean it takes time for the ceasefire order to reach individual military units.
