Overnight Iranian missile attacks trigger air defences across Qatar, UAE and Bahrain

Iran has expanded retaliatory strikes across Gulf countries that host United States military bases, raising fears of a wider regional escalation.
In Bahrain, authorities say an Iranian attack caused a fire and material damage at an oil facility in Ma’amir, while a separate drone strike on Sitra Island injured at least 32 people, including children.
Recent days have also seen damage to a desalination plant and injuries from falling debris after drone interceptions.
In Qatar, air defences intercepted ballistic missiles in the early hours, with loud explosions heard across Doha before the threat level was lowered.
The United Arab Emirates reported air defences responding to missile and drone threats, while Saudi Arabia said it intercepted drones heading towards the Shaybah oil field.
Airspace restrictions remain in place, leaving thousands stranded as airlines attempt limited repatriation and passenger flights.
