Intercepted Iranian Missile Debris Hits Doha Suburb | WATCH
Debris from an intercepted Iranian ballistic missile has exploded in a residential street in Al-Wakrah, south of Doha. While Qatari and U.S. Patriot batteries successfully thwarted direct hits on Al Udeid Air Base, falling wreckage triggered a fireball and widespread panic.
Ddebris from an intercepted Iranian ballistic missile fell onto a street in Doha, Qatar, and exploded during Iran's retaliatory strikes against US military facilities in the region.
The incident occurred in the Al-Wakrah district south of Doha, where falling wreckage struck a vehicle, causing a fireball and prompting residents to flee the area.
Qatari and US air defense systems, including Patriot batteries at Al Udeid Air Base, successfully intercepted most incoming missiles, but debris from the interceptions led to secondary explosions on the ground.
No casualties have been reported from this specific incident, according to Qatari security sources and the Ministry of Defense, which described the interceptions as successful in thwarting direct attacks.
However, the event has heightened panic in residential areas, with smoke billowing from outskirts and explosions visible near the capital.
This aligns with broader Iranian strikes targeting Al Udeid Air Base, the largest US military installation in the Middle East, as part of retaliation for joint US-Israeli operations against Iran.
