DOHA, June 28: In the wake of an Iranian missile attack targeting the U.S. air base at Al Udeid, Qatar's Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Interior have issued a joint public safety advisory urging citizens and residents to report any unusual debris or suspicious objects that may be linked to the intercepted missiles.

The missile strike, carried out by Iran on Monday, came in retaliation for U.S. airstrikes on multiple Iranian nuclear facilities amid the ongoing 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel. According to U.S. President Donald Trump, Iran launched 14 missiles toward Al Udeid Air Base. Of those, 13 were intercepted, and one was allowed to land without causing damage — a move Trump described as “a very weak response.”

In response to the escalation, Qatar summoned the Iranian ambassador and strongly condemned the missile attack. The Gulf nation reiterated its stance on the importance of regional stability and the protection of civilians.

Authorities have cautioned the public against touching or approaching any foreign objects they may come across and urged immediate reporting to relevant authorities. “These items must be handled exclusively by specialized units, as they may contain hazardous materials posing significant risks to public safety,” the advisory stated.

As a gesture of leniency amid the day’s chaos, Qatari authorities also announced the cancellation of all traffic fines issued on the day of the missile strike.
