DOHA, March 2 (Xinhua) -- Two drones struck energy facilities in Qatar on Sunday, with no casualties reported, the Qatari Ministry of Defense said.

In a statement, the ministry said one drone targeted a water tank at a power plant in Mesaieed, and another hit an energy facility in Ras Laffan Industrial City, an energy hub belonging to QatarEnergy.
