Qatar: Interception of Missile Attack and Security Warning to Residents

SadaNews - Qatar announced on Wednesday morning the interception of a new missile attack, coinciding with the ongoing U.S.-Israeli aggression against Iran and Tehran's military response.

 

The Qatari Ministry of Defense reported via the platform of "X" that "the armed forces intercepted a missile attack targeting Qatar," without providing further details.

Explosions were heard in the skies over the capital Doha, resulting from interceptions following a warning from the Ministry of Interior about a high security threat, according to "Al-Arabi TV Network."

The Ministry of Interior stated in its warning that "there is a high security threat, and everyone should stay at home for public safety."

This was the first warning issued by the ministry on Wednesday.

In Saudi Arabia, the Ministry of Defense announced early Wednesday, in successive statements, the interception and destruction of six ballistic missiles launched towards Prince Sultan Air Base, and one that was launched towards the eastern region.

It also reported the interception and destruction of 22 drones in Al-Hafr Al-Batin, Al-Kharj governorate, and the eastern region, including drones in the Empty Quarter that were heading towards the Shaybah oil field.

The UAE

The UAE Defense announced its handling of "missile and drone attacks coming from Iran."
