Missile Fragments from Iran Strike Hit Doha Residential Area

Fragments of a missile struck a residential neighbourhood in Qatar's capital, Doha, causing a powerful explosion shortly after Iran's attack on the US Al Udeid airbase, according to video footage recorded by a local resident.

The incident occurred as part of Iran's retaliatory strikes against the military base, launched in response to a bombing of Tehran earlier that Saturday. The video, shared online, captures the missile debris landing in a populated area, followed by a large detonation that produced a thick plume of smoke visible across parts of the city.

The footage shows the fragments impacting the ground in the residential zone just after the Iranian offensive, highlighting the proximity of civilian areas to the US facility, which hosts thousands of American troops and serves as a key regional hub for US Central Command.

No immediate reports of casualties or damage assessments from the residential impact have been confirmed. Iranian state media described the strikes on Al Udeid as a "decisive response" to the earlier attack on its capital, while US officials confirmed the base came under fire but reported no injuries among personnel.

Qatar, which hosts the Al Udeid base under a bilateral agreement, has not yet issued an official statement on the debris fall in Doha. The events mark a sharp escalation in regional tensions following the Tehran bombing, with air raid sirens sounding across the Gulf state during the Iranian barrage.
