Sri Lanka, June 24 -- Qatar has reopened its airspace after closing it earlier on Monday in anticipation of retaliatory attacks by Iran on a US air base near Doha.

Iran launched missiles at al-Udeid air base on Monday evening. Both Qatari and US officials said nearly all were intercepted and their were no casualties or injuries.

Prior to Iran's attack, the US embassy in Qatar had urged American citizens to shelter-in-place "out of an abundance of caution". That order has since been lifted, with the embassy saying operations will resume as normal on Tuesday.

Monday's attack by Tehran comes two days after the US launched massive strikes against three nuclear facilities inside Iran.
