He said the strikes resulted in a limited fire and minor material damage to the building, the Saudi Press Agency reported Tuesday.

Qatar's air force shot down two aircraft inbound from Iran on Monday, Doha's defense ministry said in a statement after Tehra earlier targeted gas facilities in the Gulf state.

"Qatar Emiri Air Force successfully shot down two (SU24) aircraft coming from Iran. They also successfully intercepted seven ballistic missiles through air defenses, and intercepted five drones by Qatar Emiri Air Force and Qatar Emiri Navy Forces, which targeted several areas in the state today," the defense ministry said.

It did not elaborate on the fate of the Sukhoi SU24 bombers' pilots.

Earlier, Qatar's defense ministry said one Iranian drone "targeted an energy facility in Ras Laffan Industrial City, belonging to QatarEnergy", referring to the firm's onshore gas processing base 80 kilometers (50 miles) north of Doha.

Another "targeted a water tank belonging to a power plant in Mesaieed", the statement said, referring to an area 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of the Qatari capital, which is also a key site for Qatar's natural gas production.

There were no reports of casualties, the defense ministry added.
