Israeli airstrikes hit Beirut neighbourhoods as over one million displaced in Lebanon, escalating conflict with Hezbollah and regional tensions

DOHA: Qatar said Tuesday it had intercepted a missile attack as Iran presses its retaliatory campaign over strikes by the United States and Israel that killed its supreme leader.

An AFP journalist heard several explosions in Doha, a day after blasts resounded across the Qatari capital.

Qatar, like several Gulf nations, has been targeted by drones and missiles in the last days.

“The Ministry of Defense of State of Qatar announces that armed forces intercepted missile attack which targeted State of Qatar,” the defence ministry posted on X.

In nearby Dubai, an AFP journalist heard three explosions after a mobile phone alert warned residents of the UAE’s most populous city to “immediately seek a safe place” over “potential missile threats”.
