00:00Live pictures here in Doha once again where we've heard missiles being intercepted this morning.
00:07You can see the impacts of that with smoke billowing there on the horizon as cars still on the road.
00:13Ibrahim Sultan Al-Hashimi is Director of Media and Communications in Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs
00:18and he says that Qatar reserves the right to respond to the attacks.
00:24In the name of God the Merciful, the state of Qatar condemns in the strongest possible terms these ballistic missile
00:31attacks
00:32and considers this operation as a blatant violation of its sovereignty and the safety of its territories
00:38and also a grave escalation that threatens the stability of the whole region.
00:43The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already affirmed in an official statement
00:47that it reserves its full right to respond in accordance with international law
00:52and with the Charter of the United Nations in proportion to the size of the attacks
00:57in order to protect its sovereignty and to protect its higher interests.
01:02Well, as we mentioned, Iran is targeting US assets in the Gulf region for a second day.
01:06Several loud blasts have been heard in Dubai and of course here in Doha, the capital of Qatar,
01:13from where Axel Izamović is standing by and has the very latest.
01:16So Axel, the Qataris have said there were dozens of missiles and drones launched against the country
01:21yesterday and overnight and those strikes now continuing this morning.
01:26Yeah, that's correct, Nick.
01:28We've seen another wave of attacks coming from Iran.
01:31In the past hour or so, we heard at least 10 explosions over the Qatar's capital, Doha.
01:39But what we understand is that there is a plume of smoke arising from the industrial area.
01:46That's the neighborhood here in Doha.
01:48But we don't know what exactly caused that plume of smoke.
01:52It could be a falling debris.
01:53It could be one of the missiles.
01:55But at this point, we don't understand what actually happened over there.
02:00But from this vantage point, Nick, I have to mention that those explosions that we heard
02:05this morning, they were very, very loud.
02:08And it really goes to show that the situation here is not winding down.
02:13In fact, it's becoming even more frequent in terms of these attacks.
02:19Right now, the situation remains calm.
02:21But there are imminent threats.
02:25There's going to be more attacks coming in the next hour or so.
02:29But what we understand is that we also received an emergency alert going off on our mobile phones
02:35where the authorities here in Qatar urging everybody to stay indoors and avoid any unnecessary movement.
02:42But also, we are getting reports that there's been more attack in Dubai and across the region.
02:49We also heard that air raid sirens went off in Bahrain.
02:54And that's what we understand.
02:57And, of course, the entire region is following what's going to happen next.
03:02All right.
03:03That's a picture there in the region with the smoke billowing from the latest interception
03:08that has taken place of missiles coming in from Iran into here, Doha, in Qatar.
