FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TAMPA, Fla. - Today, U.S. forces, alongside our Qatari partners, successfully defended against an Iranian ballistic missile attack targeting Qatar’s Al-Udeid Air Base near Doha, Qatar.

Thanks to the professional, competent, rapid and coordinated response of U.S. and Qatari forces, the ballistic missile attack was defeated by U.S. and Qatari Patriot batteries and there were no casualties to American or Qatari personnel.

U.S. Central Command appreciates the enduring military-to-military relationship with Qatar — a partnership that has spanned more than 50 years.

“We will continue to aggressively defend our service members and partners in the region. Our adversaries should have no doubt about our resolve or our capabilities,” said General Michael Erik Kurilla, Commander of U.S. Central Command.
