Doha: Qatar has strongly condemned Iran’s missile attack on the US-operated Al Udeid Air Base, calling it a “blatant violation” of the country’s sovereignty and international norms.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari said, “The IRGC’s strike on Al Udeid is a violation of Qatar’s sovereignty, its airspace, and the UN Charter.”

He further stated that “Qatar reserves the right to respond directly to this aggression in accordance with international law.”

Al-Ansari also noted that Qatari air defences had successfully intercepted the missiles launched by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), preventing any damage to the base.

The statement comes amid rising tensions in the region following Iran’s confirmed missile campaign targeting US bases in both Qatar and Iraq.

Belthangady: Two people, Purandara Gowda and Thularama Gowda of Dharmasthala, who had earlier filed complaints in relation to the Dharmasthala mass burial case and claimed to have witnessed the burial of bodies, spoke to the Special Investigation Team (SIT) officials on Wednesday.

Prior to the meeting, Purandara Gowda told reporters that he used to own a shop situated on the banks of River Nethravathi. “While at the shop, I had seen bodies being buried, in all likelihood, by the anonymous witness. I have, however, seen more than one person being involved in this work at the first and 13th sites identified by the witness,” he has said.

Thularama Gowda has said that he had seen the burial of bodies at sites beyond those identified by the witness. “The SIT will be provided the information on the matter,” Gowda added.
