KANSAS CITY, Mo. On Saturday, President Donald Trump announced that the United States bombed three nuclear sites in Iran.

The operational strike was completed by B-2 pilots from Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster, Missouri. Now, the city is taking steps to ensure the safety of residents and military members.

affiliate WDAF spoke with Knob Noster’s mayor on Monday, who said the city is taking extra security precautions after the bombings.

Knob Noster Mayor Garret Carter refused to go into detail about the precautionary measures being taken—but did confirm that the city is preparing.

“Yes, we have taken extra precautions,” Mayor Carter told WDAF .

He said that if the city were to be targeted, he believes the Air Force base would be the primary target.

“I do believe that most of the targeting, if anything were to happen, would be towards the installation – not directly towards the community,” Mayor Carter said. “I don’t fear or have fear at this moment.

“At this time, I don’t see any reason for fear; I feel like we’re situated well enough in the continental U.S. that we’re fairly safe.”

The mayor told FOX4 that no known threats have been brought to his attention as of Monday afternoon.

On Monday, Iran launched an attack against a U.S. Air Force base in Qatar—in response to Saturday’s attack. Qatar said it successfully intercepted the short- and medium-range ballistic missiles.

This is a developing situation. Stay with FOX4 for the latest updates.
