Qatar issued a new emergency alert on Sunday morning after multiple explosions were heard in Doha.

Huge plumes of smoke billowed above a road in Doha’s Industrial Area in the early hours of Sunday, as multiple explosions rocked the Qatari capital for a second consecutive day. The blasts came as Iran launched missiles targeting the United States’ Al Udeid Airbase in Qatar.

At least 11 explosions echoed across the skies above the Qatari capital, Al Jazeera reported, citing residents in the city.

Qatar quickly issued a new emergency alert, sending out warning messages on residents’ mobile phones, urging them to remain indoors except in cases of emergency and until the danger has passed. 

Sunday’s explosions from intercepted missiles came hours after Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and several senior security officials were confirmed killed in yesterday’s joint Israel-U.S. attack on Iran.

In a swift response, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps pledged retaliation, announcing coordinated attacks on 27 bases hosting U.S. forces across the Middle East, as well as Israeli military sites in Tel Aviv.

Meanwhile, Qatar’s Ministry of Interior said that eight additional injuries have been recorded, bringing the total to 16 since the attack began on Saturday, with limited material damage reported.

Emergency response plans were activated immediately, with security and Civil Defence teams deployed to protect public safety and maintain essential services.

Authorities urged residents to follow official instructions, remain indoors unless necessary, avoid debris and report suspicious objects to 999, while relying only on official sources for updates.

Qatar Airways has confirmed that its flight operations remain temporarily suspended for a second consecutive day due to the ongoing closure of Qatari airspace.

 The airline said services will resume once the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority announces that the country’s airspace has been safely reopened.
