Iran launches attack against Amazon cloud data center in Bahrain

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched an attack on an Amazon cloud computing center in Bahrain, state media outlet IRNA news agency reported, according to Al Jazeera.

The attack was first reported at 8:30 a.m. PST, the second of two attacks at the Bahrain Amazon facility in the last two days.

No details on casualties or the ​extent of damage have been released, as of this reporting.
