• Qatar: Al Udeid Air Base (the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East, with over 10,000 troops) was attacked by missiles, some intercepted by Patriot systems, while others hit near targets, causing frequent explosions in Doha.
• United Arab Emirates: Al Dhafra Air Base was hit, with two large explosions in Abu Dhabi, and parts of the airspace were closed.
• Kuwait: Targets such as Ali Al Salem Air Base were attacked, explosions sounded across the country, and the entire national airspace was closed.
