The Pentagon has acknowledged that an Iranian ballistic missile hit a geodesic dome at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in June during an Iranian attack after President Donald Trump downplayed the assault.
The statement from Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell follows The Associated Press publishing satellite images Friday showing damage from the attack.
Parnell said the strike “did minimal damage to equipment and structures on the base.”
He added: “Al Udeid Air Base remains fully operational and capable of conducting its mission, alongside our Qatari partners, to provide security and stability in the region.”
Satellite images from Planet Labs PBC show the geodesic dome visible at the Al Udeid Air Base on the morning of June 23, just hours before the attack.
