Qatari authorities evacuated people from certain areas in Doha’s Msheireb district, which includes government offices and a Google office, in the early hours of Saturday morning (local time, still Friday in Brasília), witnesses reported.
Witnesses also said that authorities emptied areas of the university city of Doha, which is home to the campuses of six North American universities.
Withdrawal orders were issued after Qatar’s Ministry of Interior announced the withdrawal of people from a ‘number of specific areas as a temporary precautionary measure’, without providing details, about an hour before authorities reported missile interceptions in Qatar.
