Iran targeted the Al Udeid US military base in Doha this afternoon with a missile attack. Word is that Qatar’s air defenses intercepted the missiles and there are no injuries or casualties.
Regional air and defense authorities will reassess the situation in the proceeding hours and days. Until then travelers face flights being diverted, canceled or indefinitely delayed.
