Qatar to compensate residents for property damage from Iranian missile debris

Qatar’s Ministry of Interior has announced that citizens and residents whose private properties were damaged by debris from intercepted Iranian missiles during the June 23 attack on the Al Udeid U.S. airbase will receive compensation.
The missile strike, a retaliatory action by Iran following U.S. airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities as part of Israel’s regional aerial campaign, caused no casualties but resulted in significant disturbances. Loud explosions echoed across Doha, and missile fragments were found scattered on public roads and near residential areas. A ceasefire, declared by U.S. President Donald Trump, was established hours later.
In a statement posted on its official X account on Sunday, the Ministry of Interior confirmed that compensation will cover damages to residential buildings, vehicles, industrial facilities, and commercial establishments caused by missile interception debris. Eligibility requires prior documentation through official reports filed with security departments. The Civil Defence Council will contact affected individuals to process claims in accordance with Qatar’s laws.
For those yet to file reports, the ministry advised submitting compensation requests via the “Metrash” mobile application within two days of the announcement. Late submissions will not be accepted.
In addition, Qatari authorities have waived all traffic violations issued on the day of the strike to ease the burden on residents. The June 23 incident, a rare instance of direct Iranian military action on Gulf soil, has raised concerns about potential escalation between the U.S. and Iran. Al Udeid Air Base, southwest of Doha, remains the largest U.S. military facility in the Middle East, central to U.S. operations in the region. (ILKHA)
