Amazon Web Services said it was once again experiencing service disruptions in Bahrain on Monday due to drone activity amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
“We are working closely with local authorities and prioritizing the safety of our personnel throughout our recovery efforts,” a spokesperson said in a statement shared with CNBC.
AWS advised customers to migrate their applications to alternate AWS Regions, and said it had already helped a large number of users to do so.
It comes after the cloud provider reported service disruption related to the Iran conflict in Bahrain and the UAE earlier in March.
In the UAE, two AWS facilities were directly struck by drones. In Bahrain, a drone strike landed in close proximity to company facilities and caused physical damage.
These previous AWS disruptions caused reported outages of apps and digital services in the UAE.
In recent weeks, Iran has continued to launch missile and drone strikes on its Middle East neighbors as part of its retaliation against Israel and the U.S.
