Armed assailants have attacked a Shia religious center in Bahrain, inflicting severe damage to the building.
Local residents and witnesses said the attack was carried out in the village of Wadyan, Sitra, which is located south of the capital, Manama, during the early hours of Monday.
They said the attackers, riding a vehicle, fled the scene after spraying the building of Al-Marzouq Hussainia hall with bullets.
Photos circulated on social media networks show the building badly damaged and its windows shattered.
No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the incident. However, activists have accused some operatives of the ruling Al Khalifah family of carrying out the latest attack.
Several Shia religious gatherings and centers have come under attack in Bahrain and neighboring Saudi Arabia in recent months.
