Qatar's Ministry of Defense announced that its security forces are continuing to engage several ballistic missile attacks targeting the country, according to an official statement. No details on casualties or damage have been provided.
At 07:30 Jerusalem, Qatar's Ministry of Defense officially confirmed that its security forces are continuing to engage multiple ballistic missile attacks targeting the country, in a new statement. This follows a report at 07:25 Jerusalem of a renewed attack on Qatar, based on a single unverified source, and comes after the MOD earlier confirmed at 06:13 Jerusalem that its air defense system had intercepted an Iranian missile attack. The new statement indicates the attack is ongoing, not a single past event.
Earlier in the morning, at 05:23 Jerusalem, initial unverified reports of explosions in Kuwait were followed by announcements from Kuwait's military and then from Qatar's defense ministry—both reporting active interception of hostile aerial targets, as relayed by N12 reporter Sapir Lipkin. At 06:13 Jerusalem, Qatar's Ministry of Defense confirmed in a statement that its air defense system had intercepted a missile attack originating from Iran, marking the first official confirmation from the Qatari government. Then at 07:25 Jerusalem, a single source reported a renewed attack on Qatar, suggesting a potential second wave. The latest official confirmation at 07:30 Jerusalem now states that security forces are still engaging multiple ballistic missiles, indicating the situation remains active.
As The Zioneer reported earlier, the attacks on Qatar are part of a broader wave of Iranian strikes on Gulf states this morning. Bahrain's forces intercepted multiple Iranian aerial attacks, and the UAE's air defenses were engaging an Iranian missile and drone attack. Kuwait has condemned repeated Iranian attacks on its territory. No casualties or damage have been reported in any of the affected countries.
No details have been released on the number of missiles, casualties, or damage from the ongoing attacks in Qatar. The initial report of a renewed attack at 07:25 Jerusalem remains unverified, and the full scope and duration of the current wave of strikes remain unclear.
