WATCH: Moment When Qatar Air Defence Intercepted Iranian Missiles Over Doha
The foreign ministry of Qatar assured there were no casualties and that all the Iranian missiles that were directed toward the Al-Udeid base that houses US troops were intercepted.
Iran on Monday night launched an attack on the United States' Al-Udeid base in Qatar, which is seen as a retaliation for the US airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities.
The missiles, which Iran has claimed matched the number of bombs dropped by the US on its nuclear sites, were intercepted by Qatar's air defence system. The visuals of the exact moment when the missiles were being intercepted over the capital Doha have been caught on camera.

Qatar has condemned the attack by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards calling it “a flagrant violation of Qatar’s sovereignty, its airspace, and international law.” It has also said that it "reserves its right" to respond after Iranian bombings.
The foreign ministry of Qatar assured there were no casualties and that all the Iranian missiles that were directed toward the Al Udeid base that houses US troops were intercepted, AP reported.
“We call for an immediate end to all military activitie and for a serious return to the negotiating table and dialogue,” Qatar’s foreign ministry said.
Following the attack, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement that Iran launched a “powerful and destructive missile attack” on the Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran, relying on Almighty God and the faithful, proud people of Iran, will never leave any aggression against its territorial integrity, sovereignty, or national security unanswered,” the statement read.
Meanwhile, the White House and Pentagon are closely monitoring the potential threats to the US airbase in Qatar. According to CNN, a US defence official said that Iran attacked US air base with short- and medium-range ballistic missiles.
Kuwait and Bahrain also shut down their airspace temporarily amid fears of retaliation by Iran against US attacks.
