The Malaysian embassy in Doha urged Malaysians to obtain information only from verified sources, including official announcements by the Qatari authorities and the embassy.

A statement posted on the embassy’s Facebook page said those requiring consular assistance may contact the embassy at +974 3374 6733 (for emergencies only) or by email at [email protected].

“Malaysians who have yet to register with the embassy may do so through the e-Consular system at https://ekonsular.kin.gov.my/login,” it said.

Earlier, Anadolu Ajansi reported that Israel’s defence minister said Tel Aviv had launched a strike against Iran.
