Several more explosions were heard across Doha and warning sirens sounded in Manama on Monday, according to AFP journalists, as Iran pressed its aerial campaign against Gulf neighbours.

The oil-rich Gulf states have been targeted by waves of drones and missiles since Tehran launched its retaliation campaign in the wake of the U.S. and Israeli attacks against Iran.
