Qatari authorities said they have arrested two cells linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

According to the Qatar News Agency, precision surveillance operations led to the arrest of ten suspects - seven assigned to gather intelligence on vital and military sites, and three trained in drone use for sabotage missions.

Officials said the suspects were found with coordinates of sensitive facilities and communication equipment, and later confessed to espionage and subversive activities.

The country's State Security has urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
