Amid the ongoing Iran war, the Indian Embassy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has issued an advisory for Indian nationals, urging them to follow safety guidelines and avoid recording or sharing sensitive visuals.

The embassy warned that UAE authorities will take strict action against anyone filming incident sites, restricted locations, or airport premises without permission, and sharing such content on social media.

The advisory comes after flight operations at Dubai International Airport - the world's busiest international aviation hub - were briefly suspended as a precaution, though services have now partially resumed.

Indian nationals have been advised to immediately move to a safe location upon hearing warning alerts and remain there until authorities declare the area safe. They have also been instructed not to step outside to take photographs or record videos.

The embassy further urged people to avoid filming inside airports during arrival or departure and strictly refrain from sharing images of incident sites, including damage caused by projectiles or shrapnel.

If shrapnel or any suspicious object is found nearby, individuals should immediately inform the authorities, keep a safe distance, and avoid touching or approaching the object.
