Fortunately no casualties were reported in Iran strike.
People were seen rushing towards the exit gate of the mall as Irania missiles struck Qatar. The country has shut its airspace along with Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE. The attack comes in retaliation for the US bombing three nuclear sites in Iran over the weekend.
"The number of missiles used in this successful operation was equal to the number of bombs the United States used in its assault on Iran's nuclear facilities. The targeted base was also located far from urban areas and residential zones in Qatar, ensuring minimal risk to civilians," read a statement from the Secretariat of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
A spokesman for Iran's Armed Forces said the attacks on the American base in Qatar were carried out by the Revolutionary Guards Corps.
"We warn our enemies that the era of hit and run is over," said the spokesman.
