Bahrain’s Ministry of Interior announced a complete ban on the use of drones, regardless of purpose, as part of urgent security measures aimed at protecting national airspace and ensuring public safety following recent regional developments.

The ministry stated that the decision falls within its legal and security responsibilities to maintain public order and strengthen civil protection systems, emphasizing that the ban is intended to prevent any misuse or potential threats involving unmanned aerial devices.

Authorities confirmed that any drone found operating in violation of the ban will be intercepted and destroyed immediately, with strict legal action taken against those responsible, reflecting a zero tolerance approach toward non compliance.

Officials also stressed that the ban takes effect immediately and will remain in place until further notice, urging all individuals and entities to fully comply and refrain from operating any drones under any circumstances to avoid legal consequences.

This move comes as part of ongoing efforts to reinforce national security and stability, with authorities continuing to monitor the situation closely and implement necessary measures to safeguard the country’s sovereignty and protect its critical assets.
