The Ministry of Defense announced that Qatar was targeted on Wednesday by nine ballistic missiles and multiple drones originating from the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In a statement, the Ministry confirmed that the country’s armed forces successfully intercepted all drones and eight of the nine ballistic missiles. The remaining missile, officials said, landed in an uninhabited area and caused no casualties or damage.

“Our Armed Forces, by the grace of God, successfully intercepted all drones and eight ballistic missiles, while one missile fell in an uninhabited area,” the Ministry reported.

The statement concluded with a message of reassurance: “May Allah protect Qatar, its Amir, its people, and all residents on its land.”

Further updates will be issued as they become available.
