Large explosions are reported in Qatar.

More than 10 Israeli Air Force fighter jets dropped over 10 munitions in the strike on Hamas's leadership in Qatar, according to military officials. The munitions all hit a building where Hamas leaders were believed to have been gathered within seconds. En route to carrying out

Poland has for the first time shot down drones that came into its airspace during a Russian attack on Ukraine, in what the Nato member said was an “unprecedented violation”. on.ft.com/4mcrbot via Financial Times
