Qatar’s interior ministry says it is evacuating a number of areas as Iran presses its retaliatory air campaign against Gulf countries.

The ministry says in a statement it’s “evacuating several key areas as a temporary precautionary measure, within the framework of ensuring public safety until the danger has passed.”

In Doha’s central Musheireb district some residents receive phone alerts telling them to “evacuate the area immediately… to the nearest safest place as a temporary precaution.”
