Iran launched a retaliatory missile strike against the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, a significant US military installation.
The attack, announced by Iran's IRGC, followed previous US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, escalating regional tensions.
Explosions and flares were reported near Doha, prompting safety advisories from US and UK embassies urging citizens to shelter in place.
Al Udeid, a crucial US Central Command hub, houses thousands of troops and plays a key role in Middle Eastern operations.
