Explosions were heard over the Qatari capital, Doha, on Thursday, according to AFP journalists, as Iran continued its retaliatory strikes across the region on the sixth day of the escalating conflict following U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iranian territory.
Qatar has faced repeated waves of Iranian drones and missiles since Tehran launched a broad retaliation campaign targeting U.S. and allied positions across the Gulf.
No immediate details were released regarding the latest blasts in Doha, and it was not immediately clear whether air defense systems intercepted incoming drones or missiles.
Drone Strike Reported in Azerbaijan
In a separate development, Azerbaijani media reported that a drone launched from Iranian territory struck an airport building in the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhichevan, near Iran’s northwestern border.
According to the Azerbaijani news outlet Report, two drones crossed into Azerbaijani airspace on Thursday, with one of them crashing into the Nakhichevan airport and exploding.
Images circulating on social media appeared to show smoke rising from the airport complex, though authorities have not yet released official details regarding damage or casualties.
