Smoke rises following a strike on the Bapco oil refinery, amid the Middle East conflict, on Sitra Island Bahrain on March 9, 2026.

Bapco said supply continuity was being supported by contingency plans already in place.

Reuters reported earlier in the day that thick smoke rose from the direction of Bapco oil refinery and surrounded the complex after an Iranian drone attack in the Sitra area caused injuries and property damage.
