The State of Bahrain officially confirmed on Sunday March 29 2026 that the Bahrain Aluminum Company Alba was targeted by an Iranian military attack.

According to the Bahrain News Agency BNA the hostile operation took place on Saturday resulting in direct hits to one of the largest industrial sites.

The official report stated that two employees sustained injuries during the incident as the facilities faced direct aggression aimed at disrupting the national economy.

Alba is recognized as a cornerstone of the Bahraini industrial sector and a vital contributor to the global aluminum market making this attack a serious escalation.

The company issued a statement confirming that the safety and security of its workforce remain the ultimate priority in the face of such external threats.

Medical reports clarified that the two injured staff members suffered minor injuries and received immediate professional treatment following the explosions at the site.

Technical units and engineering teams are currently conducting a comprehensive assessment to determine the total extent of physical damage caused to the vital machinery.

Management emphasized that operational continuity is being maintained despite the incident with a strong focus on preserving the production levels and supply chain stability.

The announcement follows a declaration by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps claiming responsibility for targeting aluminum production companies in both Bahrain and the UAE.

Local authorities are closely monitoring the field situation and documenting the evidence of the strike to take necessary legal and diplomatic international actions.

The Bahrain News Agency highlighted the government commitment to protecting sovereign economic assets and ensuring the safety of all individuals living within the Kingdom.

International observers have raised concerns over the targeting of civilian industrial infrastructure which poses a significant threat to regional stability and global trade routes.

Alba assured its global partners and clients that emergency response protocols were successfully activated to mitigate the impact of this unprovoked Iranian military aggression.

Public officials urged the population to rely exclusively on official Bahraini media outlets for accurate information and to reject propaganda spread by hostile entities.

Production at the smelter continues under heightened security measures implemented across all sensitive industrial and oil locations throughout the entire Kingdom of Bahrain.

The Kingdom of Bahrain reiterates its sovereign right to defend its territory and vital interests against any foreign aggression that aims to undermine its national security.
