Authorities in Qatar announced emergency measures on Saturday as regional tensions escalated, including the temporary suspension of flights and safety warnings for residents.
In a statement, Qatar Airways said it will continue the temporary suspension of flights due to the ongoing closure of airspace, without specifying when normal operations may resume.
Meanwhile, the Qatar Ministry of Interior urged residents to remain in their homes and avoid leaving except in cases of extreme necessity, citing precautionary safety measures amid the volatile security situation.
The ministry also said civil defense teams were responding to a fire in the industrial area of Doha after missile fragments fell in the vicinity. No immediate reports of casualties were released.
The measures reflect growing concern among Gulf states over the expanding impact of the regional conflict, which has affected air travel and prompted heightened security precautions across the region.
