Details: Brigadier Abdullah Khalifa Al-Muftah, head of the Public Relations Department at Qatar's Ministry of the Interior, said in a televised address that 66 missiles had been launched against Qatar and that authorities had received 114 reports of debris falling across the country. He said one of those injured was in a critical condition.

Qatar's Ministry of Defence reported that it had "successfully intercepted" the second wave of the attack, stating that all Iranian missiles were intercepted before entering the country's airspace.

The Foreign Ministry described Iran's actions as "reckless" and a violation of the country's sovereignty.

Quote: "Ibrahim Sultan Al-Hashemi, the head of public relations at the Foreign Ministry, said the attack was inconsistent with the principles of 'good neighbourliness', and that Qatar reserved the right to respond 'in accordance with international law'."
