Loud explosions echoed through the Qatari capital on Monday night, just hours after Qatar abruptly closed its airspace in response to escalating regional tensions triggered by recent U.S. airstrikes on Iran. According to AFP journalists, the blasts were clearly audible in central Doha and Lusail, a city located north of the capital.

Eyewitnesses also reported seeing projectiles streaking across the night sky, adding to the atmosphere of uncertainty and fear. While the Qatari government has yet to release an official statement about the explosions, the incident follows swiftly after the country’s decision to shut down its airspace, suggesting a heightened state of alert as Middle East tensions intensify.
