Ministry clears the air about the Thunder like sound in the South of Qatar.

According to a tweet from the Ministry of Defense in Qatar, the Amiri Air Force of Qatar has been conducting constant training exercises in Qatari airspace. The statement clarified the source of the loud noise that had been interpreted as thunder. It was audible all the way down in the South.

Residents of Doha's southern neighbourhoods, including Al Wakra, Al Wukair, and others, reported hearing what sounded like an explosion.
An Al Wukair resident claimed on Twitter that he was driving and "felt like something hit his car."

Someone else finally spoke up, saying that he had heard what sounded like a huge object landing in the neighbourhood right next to his home.
