United States and QatarIncoming Iranian ballistic missilesConfirmed
US and Qatari Patriot air-defense batteries intercepted almost all of the incoming Iranian missiles over Al Udeid. Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine said it was 'the largest single Patriot engagement in US military history,' defended by US soldiers who remained at the base with roughly two minutes to respond. One missile was reported to have struck the base, damaging a radar/communications dome, with no casualties.
