"We affirm that the State of Qatar reserves the right to respond directly in a manner proportional to the nature and scale of this blatant aggression," foreign ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari said in a statement, adding that the US base had been evacuated as a precaution ahead of the attack.

Doha said the security situation was "stable."

"The Ministry of Interior confirms... that the security situation in the country is stable, and there is no cause for concern," the government said in a statement.
