Summary
Qatar’s interior ministry said Sunday that a Qatari national died and a second person was injured after shrapnel hit their vessel during “military operations in the area.”
The ministry said the boat had gone missing, and search operations launched a day earlier found it in the early hours of Sunday.
Officials did not disclose where the incident happened and did not say whether the shrapnel was tied to Iranian drones launched Sunday against US military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain.
The death links the wider regional military escalation to a civilian casualty involving a Qatari national, even as key details of the incident remain unclear.
