The British Embassy in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has warned Britons in the region against breaking the country's laws by taking pictures or sharing images of the impact of Iranian missiles.
It comes after a 60-year-old British man was charged under cyber crime laws in Dubai after allegedly filming Iranian missiles over the city.
The tourist was detained under a law in the UAE that prohibits publishing or sharing material that could disturb public security, after he was found to have a video of a strike on his phone, according to Detained in Dubai CEO Radha Stirling.
"British nationals are subject to UAE laws, violations may lead to fines, imprisonment, or deportation," the embassy said in a statement on X.
The statement added: "UAE authorities warn against photographing, posting, or sharing images of incident sites or projectile damage as well as government buildings and diplomatic missions."
