An Iranian ballistic missile hit the United States’ military base at Al-Udeid on Tuesday, Qatar’s Defense Ministry said, as Tehran struck targets across the Gulf in retaliation for US-Israeli attacks.
The ministry said Qatar was targeted by two missiles, adding, “Air defense systems successfully intercepted one of the missiles, while the second missile struck Al-Udeid Qatari Base without causing any casualties.”
Meanwhile, two spy cells linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards were dismantled, Qatar’s official news agency reported just after midnight Wednesday, after Tehran launched missiles at drones across the Gulf for a fourth day in retaliation for US-Israeli strikes.
“Close surveillance made it possible to arrest 10 suspects: seven were tasked with spying and gathering information about vital and military infrastructure in the country, and three were meant to carry out sabotage operations,” the agency said.
It added the suspects “admitted during the investigation their links to the Revolutionary Guards and having been instructed to conduct espionage and sabotage activities”.
