Qatar has accused Iran of launching nine ballistic missiles and several drones into its territory. According to the Qatari defense ministry, one of the missiles landed in an uninhabited area, while the rest were intercepted by Qatari forces. The incident reportedly occurred amid heightened regional tensions.
The report, citing Al Jazeera, adds that the missile and drone attacks originated from Iran. The Qatari defense ministry provided no details on casualties or damage beyond confirming that most of the projectiles were neutralized. The event follows a series of regional escalations, including attacks on ships in the Persian Gulf and Hormuz Strait, and recent Iranian strikes in Israel that injured 179 people.
The situation underscores growing instability in the Gulf region, with multiple incidents involving Iran and neighboring states raising concerns about broader conflict across the Middle East.
