Meanwhile, Qatar’s interior ministry said a Qatari citizen was killed and another person injured after a delayed vessel was located off Qatar’s coast following a search and rescue operation.
In a statement, the ministry said maritime patrols had noticed that one vessel, carrying two people on board, had failed to return at its scheduled time as part of routine maritime monitoring conducted by the General Directorate of Coasts and Border Security.
Search operations began on Saturday evening, and in the early hours of Sunday, rescue teams located the vessel.
According to the ministry, the search revealed that a Qatari citizen had died after being struck by shrapnel caused by “military operations” in the area.
