More than 1,500 US sailors and family members have fled military bases in Bahrain and elsewhere in the region, NPR reported yesterday.
They “were evacuated back to the United States from their base in Bahrain after the base was attacked by Iranian missiles and drones,” the US news service said.

IRANIANS MAKE SEVEN SUCCESSFUL HITS
NPR published a map showing air strikes in Bahrain, which is the home base of the US Navy's 5th Fleet.
“On the opening day of the war, the base, known as Naval Support Activity Bahrain, was struck multiple times,” NPR said. “Posts on social media showed a ballistic missile and Iranian drones slamming into the base.”
There have “been evacuations at other U.S. military bases in the region,” NPR said, adding that details were not provided by the military authorities.
Satellite images from Planet Lab showed that seven buildings were struck between 28 Feb and 6 March.
The US side appears to be underplaying the difficulties it is facing. Meanwhile, some Gulf authorities have ordered that all missiles strikes be described as "minor damage from successful interceptions".
