The visuals include blast sites, debris, and interception efforts, along with rare footage of an aerial engagement. Qatar says it shot down two Iranian Su-24 jets during the attacks.

Iran has said the strikes were aimed at US-linked military assets. However, Qatar has rejected this claim, saying the attacks hit civilian and economic infrastructure. Doha has also stated that its territory, including Al Udeid air base, was not used to launch attacks on Iran during the conflict.

Repeated attacks

Iran has carried out multiple attacks on Qatar during the 2026 regional war. Qatari air defences have intercepted most incoming missiles and drones. According to reports, early strikes targeted civilian locations such as the airport, while later attacks included a mix of missiles and drones. 

Over the past month, Qatar has faced several waves of attacks starting in late February and continuing into April. 

Iran’s strikes on Ras Laffan Industrial City have hit the nerve centre of global LNG supply. While it may appear to be Qatar’s problem, it has wider implications, especially for India, which depends on Qatar for nearly 40% of its gas.

Any disruption could tighten supply and push up costs. Consumers may face higher CNG and PNG prices, while fertiliser costs could rise, eventually impacting food prices and power tariffs. Industry margins are also likely to come under pressure. Even if supplies stabilise, prices may remain elevated, with Brent already at $111 per barrel.

Advisory for Indian nationals

Amid the escalating situation, the Indian Embassy in Doha on Friday has issued an advisory urging all Indians to follow guidelines set by Qatari authorities, especially the Ministry of Interior.

Residents have been asked to remain in safe locations, avoid going out unless necessary, and stay away from windows and exposed areas. Qatar’s airspace remains closed, with flight operations temporarily suspended.

The Ministry of Interior has also extended all categories of entry visas by one month from February 28, subject to further review.
