Three people, including a child, have been injured by falling shrapnel in Qatar following Iranian attacks, the country's interior ministry has said.

 

Iran reportedly launched attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates in response to US strikes on 140 Iranian targets. 

 

Qatari officials said it intercepted the attack, which caused the falling debris.

 

"The Ministry of Interior's competent security authorities continue to operate will full readiness around the clock, ensuring a rapid response, safeguarding the security and safety of the community and maintaining the uninterrupted provision of services," they said in a statement. 
A number of Gulf States have come under fire this morning after Iran launched attacks in retaliation to a series of US strikes.

 

The United Arab Emirates said its defence systems engaged missiles and drones from Iran, while warning sirens sounded in Bahrain and explosions were heard in Doha.

 

The Jordanian army said three Iranian missiles fell in the country but did not cause any casualties.

 

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said they had destroyed a command and control centre and drone hangars in Jordan, targeted a US radar site in Kuwait, attacked US aircraft carrier ⁠support and refuelling platforms in Oman and destroyed a jet maintenance centre and command facility in Qatar.

 

The Iranian claims are yet to be confirmed by the US or others.
