On Tuesday, Katri Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari confirmed that Doha was monitoring environmental development in the region, while calling for international awareness of a possible decline from attacks on sensitive facilities.“We are monitoring it on a daily basis,” Al-Ansari said during a news conference.“We have nothing to be worried about right now, but will clearly have unexpected results of prolonged growth.”
