The Interior Ministry released a precautionary statement on what citizens are expected to do following the attack against the service centre of the fifth fleet in Bahrain: "We urge all citizens and residents to exercise caution and review the following immediate precautions to be taken in the event of a loud explosion or the sounding of warning sirens. Dear citizens and residents, If you hear an explosion or a siren while driving, please follow these instructions: Adhere to the designated speed limits and drive carefully. Clear the left lane to avoid accidents. Continue driving and make way for emergency vehicles, including civil defence, ambulance, traffic police, and security patrols, so they can carry out their duties. Tune in to official radio and television channels for updates. Seek shelter in the nearest building or take cover in a safe, enclosed area until the danger has passed."
