​​​​​​​
Shahed-136 direct hit on a radome on the U.S. Base in Manama, Bahrain.
​​​​​​​
Based on video of missile arrivals, footage of a sustained large fire, and corroborating VIIRS thermal satellite imagery, my analysis is that the primary target of the Iranian strike was Building 262 (CTF-55 / CDS-50 Headquarters) at Naval Support Activity Bahrain in Manama.

The building is identifiable by multiple rooftop satellite radomes and a large adjacent geodesic radome, consistent with a primary NAVCENT CDC/C3/SATCOM node supporting U.S. Fifth Fleet operations across the CENTCOM area of responsibility.

Under normal operating conditions, facilities of this type are staffed by command personnel, watch officers, intelligence teams, and communications specialists managing real-time naval operations.

​​​​​​​There is currently no confirmed reporting on personnel status.
