Abu Dhabi: The Embassy of India in Abu Dhabi reported that UAE authorities had issued a strict warning against filming incident sites, prohibited zones, or airport interiors without proper authorisation. Violators may face severe penalties as part of the UAE’s security regulations.
To ensure one’s safety and avoid legal consequences, the Embassy advised all Indian nationals to strictly adhere to the guidelines.
“When you hear a warning alert, proceed immediately to a safe place and remain there until the warning alert has been lifted for your area. Do not attempt to go outside to take photograph/record videos,” it said.
It advised the Indian nationals to strictly avoid sharing or publishing images of incident sites, including damage from projectiles or shrapnel, via digital/social media platforms.
“In the event of shrapnel falling or discovering suspicious objects in your vicinity, report it immediately to the competent authorities to enable them to handle the situation safely and swiftly. Please stay away from the location and do not approach or touch any parts,” the Embassy said.
“Do not take photograph/record videos inside the airport during arrival/departure. In view of the current regional situation, the Embassy of India, Abu Dhabi, urges all Indian nationals residing in or visiting the United Arab Emirates to strictly adhere to the local laws and safety guidelines issued by the UAE authorities,” it added.
Meanwhile, the UAE’s Ministry of Defence said on Sunday that its air defence systems were responding to incoming missile and drone threats from Iran.
In a post on the social media platform X, the ministry explained that the sounds heard in some areas were due to air defence systems intercepting missiles and drones.
Authorities urged the public to stay in safe locations and follow updates from official channels as the situation unfolds.
