Saudi Arabia intercepts missile barrage

The attack has prompted the precautionary closure of the King Fahd Causeway, the 25-kilometer bridge linking Saudi Arabia to Bahrain.

Regional authorities have urged residents to take cover during missile alerts and remain calm.

The escalation comes as Iran publishes a list of strategic bridges in the Gulf that it considers legitimate military targets.
