Iran launched missiles at a US military base in Qatar on Monday, in what it said was retaliation for American strikes against its nuclear sites over the weekend. Witnesses reported hearing loud bangs in the sky above the capital, Doha, while videos showed bright flashes in the sky as air defence systems attempted to intercept missiles.

Qatar said it successfully intercepted the missiles and no casualties were reported. It wasn't immediately clear if there was damage to the Iraq base.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced it carried out a “devastating and powerful missile attack” on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. “This base is the headquarters of the Air Force and the largest strategic asset of the US terrorist army in the West Asia region,” the statement said.
