The US Pentagon has confirmed that it’s Qatar Base, Al Udeid, has been attacked by short- and medium-range ballistic missiles launched from Iran.
A US defence official noted that there are so far no reports of US casualties from the attack.
The official said that that defence officials are still monitoring the situation and “will provide more information as it becomes available.”
TNT understands that Iran has launched the attack in response to strikes on its nuclear sites by the US on Saturday.
Qatar, describing the attack as a “flagrant violation,” says it reserves the right to respond directly.
US and UK citizens living in Qatar have been advised to shelter in place as the country has temporarily closed its airspace.
This comes as Israel says it is targeting Tehran with “unprecedented force”, including attacks on “access routes” to the Fordo nuclear site and Evin prison.
