Qatar urges residents to report suspected missile debris after Iran's attack
Qatar's Ministries of Defence and Ministry of Interior have jointly issued a public safety advisory, urging citizens and residents to immediately report any suspicious fragments or strange objects that may be linked to the interception of Iranian missiles.
Iran launched a missile attack on Al Udeid US base in Qatar on Monday, in retaliation for US attacks on several nuclear sites in the Islamic Republic as part of the 12-day conflict between Israel and Iran.

Qatar called on its residents and citizens not to touch or approach any strange objects they may encounter and to immediately report them to the authorities "so that they may be dealt with in accordance with approved procedures", the joint statement clarified.
Authorities stressed that "handling such materials must be done exclusively by the competent authorities, due to the possibility that they may contain hazardous substances that could pose a threat to public safety," it added.
waiver of all traffic violations issued on the day of the attack for motorists.
