Qatar’s Ministry of Defence confirmed that its Emiri Air Force successfully shot down two Su-24 bombers coming from Iran. The strike marks a major defensive move amid escalating regional attacks targeting Gulf energy facilities.
On Monday, Qatari forces intercepted seven ballistic missiles and five drones before they could reach their intended targets. The ministry highlighted that all threats were neutralized immediately upon detection, thanks to high readiness and coordinated response across the armed forces.
The Ministry emphasized that Qatar’s armed forces are fully equipped and prepared to respond to any external threat, safeguarding national sovereignty and key infrastructure.
Authorities asked residents, citizens, and visitors to stay calm, follow official instructions, and avoid spreading rumors, relying only on verified information from official channels.
