Reports indicate that Iran fired at least 10 missiles at Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest U.S. military installation in the Middle East, and an unspecified number at Ain al-Assad base in western Iraq, which also houses American troops.
In Qatar, explosions were distinctly heard in the skies over Doha, the capital city, where Al-Udeid Air Base is located. Shortly after the attacks, Bahrain, home to the U.S. 5th Fleet headquarters, temporarily suspended flights in its airspace, mirroring a similar precautionary measure taken by Qatar just before the strikes.
