Several explosions were heard across Doha on Saturday as Qatar’s defence ministry said it had intercepted several missile attacks targeting the Gulf state.
Blasts were heard over central Doha and near the Al-Udeid military base, the largest US military facility in the region.
An AFP journalist saw an interceptor destroy one missile in a puff of white smoke, as Qatar’s defence ministry said in a statement it had “repelled a number of attacks”.
