No casualties were immediately reported. Emergency services were called to extinguish the fires. On Wednesday, QatarEnergy reported a missile strike and a fire at the industrial hub of Ras Laffan in the country's north, home to its largest liquefied natural gas production complex. Iran has warned it will target energy infrastructure in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates in retaliation for Israeli and US strikes on its South Pars gas field. On February 28, the United States and Israel launched strikes on targets in Iran, including in Tehran, causing damage and civilian casualties. Iran responded by striking Israeli territory and US military facilities in the Middle East. The US and Israel initially claimed their "preemptive" attack was necessary to counter the perceived threat coming from Iran’s nuclear program, but they soon made it clear that they want to see a change of power in Iran.
