While Qatar’s air defense systems successfully intercepted all incoming missiles, the unprecedented attack prompted immediate safety actions, including halting flights.
Aviation authorities in the three Gulf nations are coordinating with international agencies to monitor the evolving situation, stating that the closures will be reviewed based on real-time threat assessments.
The airspace closures have disrupted several commercial routes, particularly affecting transit flights between the Middle East, Asia, and Europe.
Airlines have been advised to reroute flights, and passengers are encouraged to check with their carriers for updated travel information.
In response, the UAE and Saudi Arabia condemned Iran’s actions, calling them violations of international law and Qatari sovereignty. Both nations expressed solidarity with Qatar and warned that such aggressive actions threaten regional stability.
The situation remains fluid, with US and UK embassies in Doha advising their citizens to shelter in place.
Bahraini authorities have urged residents to remain calm, while Qatar’s Ministry of Interior has called for limited movement on main roads to facilitate emergency operations.
