“Qatar Emiri Air Force successfully shot down two (SU24) aircraft coming from the Islamic Republic of Iran. They also successfully intercepted seven ballistic missiles through air defenses, and intercepted five drones by Qatar Emiri Air Force and Qatar Emiri Navy Forces, which targeted several areas in the state today,” the Qatari defense ministry said in a statement.
In a bizarre form of self-defense, Iran has been firing both missiles and drones at neighboring countries, in many cases targeting civilian infrastructure rather than U.S. military bases or military installations.
