AWS's 3 data centres in me-south-1 are: BAH53 (Manama): https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1492345589 An adjoining substation to BAH53 had one of it's two main buildings damaged/destroyed about 2026-07-16 per https://soaratlas.com/maps/asia-damage-to-data-center-power-substation-bahrain-jul-16th-2026-142024 Then about 2026-07-22 BAH53 itself was damaged/destroyed per https://soaratlas.com/maps/asia-damage-to-amazon-web-services-bahrain-jul-22nd-2026-142112 Possibly the least defended of the three sites as there is no air/missile defence battery in between this site and Iran. BAH54 (Zallaq): https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1359931661 No media reports about this data centre being attacked previously. Possibly the safest of the three as there are at least two (probably three) air/missile defence batteries in between this site and Iran. BAH55 (Hamala): https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/9560

Isn't an AWS region comprised of at least three data centers "many kilometers apart" [1]? So, if the whole of me-south-1 (Bahrain) went down it means at least three buildings many kilometers apart must have been attacked. [1] https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regio...

1. Wow this is a headline. 2. It’s expected and war, and while war is not good, I wonder about data backups and succession planning for this. 3. It makes sense they would’ve had a fire drill and reviewed since it’s a capital investment, 6 months of war, at the same time Bahrain is considered stable, so I really wonder about the conversation around this and if there was any disaster planning with this scenario in mind. 4. If there wasn’t, I’m sure there is now across all regions of AWS. This month has been for me, a uptick in unique headlines that I wouldn’t have thought would happen.

I feel for both, people who where hosting there not expecting this war and this attack and the attackers, because they didn't attack just because they wanted but attacked as a response as stated earlier. Winner: US military industrial complex + Israel Losers: Everyone else

My colleague in Dubai says that ATM's are all working so the claim that bank infrastructure is down may not be correct.
