Explosions heard in Doha, key areas evacuated  Explosions were heard in Doha early Saturday after Qatar evacuated several key areas as a precaution, AFP news agency reported.  The Gulf state’s defence ministry said its military had “intercepted missile attack which targeted State of Qatar.” Interceptors were seen over downtown Doha, downing two projectiles as Iran presses a retaliatory air campaign across the Gulf. Residents in the central Musheireb district received phone alerts telling them to “evacuate the area immediately,” while authorities moved people, including hotel guests, into underground car parks for shelter.

US Centcom says Iran did not destroy USS Abraham Lincoln The US military said Iran did not destroy or disable the USS Abraham Lincoln after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed it had struck the aircraft carrier with ballistic missiles in the Gulf. US Central Command (Centcom) said the IRGC was “peddling recycled lies” about the attack. “To be clear: the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group continues to dominate Iranian airspace from the sea,” Centcom said in a post on X, rejecting the claim that the vessel had been rendered inoperable. The IRGC earlier said it attacked the aircraft carrier in the Gulf with four ballistic missiles. “The land and sea will increasingly become the graveyard of the terrorist aggressors,” the IRGC said.  An F/A-18F Super Hornet is taxied on the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in support of Operation Epic Fury on 6 March 2026 in the Mediterranean Sea.
