An Iranian missile has hit a US military base at Al-Udeid in Qatar, with Qatar’s Defence Ministry stating that air defence systems successfully intercepted one of the missiles, while the second missile struck the base without causing any casualties.
The ministry did not specify whether the missile caused material damage to the facility. It also revealed that since the beginning of the Iranian attacks, its forces had detected a total of 39 suicide drones, three cruise missiles, and 101 ballistic missiles heading toward Qatari airspace.
Officials stated that all 39 drones and 24 missiles were intercepted.
In response to the direct strike on its territory, the Qatari government issued a strong statement regarding its defensive posture.
The ministry said the “Qatari Armed Forces possess the full capability to safeguard the country’s sovereignty and territory and remain prepared to respond firmly to any external threat.”
Authorities urged citizens, residents, and visitors to remain calm, follow official instructions, and rely on verified information rather than rumors.
However, this comes as Iran retaliates for US-Israeli attacks, launching missiles and drones across the Gulf.
