Qatar's Interior Ministry reported that three people, including a child, were wounded by shrapnel from interception operations during an Iranian ballistic missile attack on Qatari military forces. In an urgent appeal to the UN Security Council, Doha condemned the attack as a dangerous and unprecedented escalation, warning it poses a direct threat to regional and global security.
Qatar sent an urgent appeal to the UN Security Council late Monday night, detailing an Iranian ballistic missile attack on its military forces that wounded three people, including a child, according to the state's Interior Ministry. The ministry stated that the injuries were caused by falling shrapnel from interception operations during the attack. In its official letter, Doha condemned the Iranian aggression as a dangerous and unprecedented escalation, warning that the attack constitutes a direct and real threat to security and stability in the region and the world.
The appeal comes amid a series of reported Iranian strikes on Gulf states in recent weeks. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Qatar has condemned Iranian attacks on its soil and on neighboring countries, including Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait, and has held Tehran legally responsible for the attacks. The Interior Ministry had previously reported shrapnel injuries from interceptions in similar incidents.
The full scope of the attack and the specific location of the strike on Qatari forces remain unclear. The Security Council has not yet responded to the appeal.
