Targeting civilians is never acceptable, no matter the conflict. Bahrain is right to call it a violation of international law. The world needs to pay more attention to this. Our own history teaches us the cost of war.

While the attacks are condemnable, I hope Bahrain's statement is independently verified. The numbers seem very high. In today's world, we must be cautious about information from all sides in a conflict zone. Just my two cents.

The use of drones and missiles in such numbers is terrifying. It's a reminder of how warfare is changing. India must watch this closely for our own security preparedness. Our defense tech needs to keep pace.

This directly impacts oil prices and global stability. As a developing economy, India cannot afford another major conflict disrupting trade and energy supplies. Diplomacy is the only way forward, yaar.

My heart goes out to the ordinary people living in fear there. We have family friends working in Manama. The stress for them and their families back home in Kerala is immense. Hope for peace.
