This is Corey, keeping Adelaide in the know, you're listening to Adelaide News today. Dubai influencers jumped into action as Iranian missiles and drones targeted the United Arab Emirates, posting videos of explosions and smoke from. Places like beach clubs and hotels. One British fitness coach shared clips of a strike on the Fairmont Hotel just meters away, reaching his 130,000 followers. But after a few days, those raw updates vanished. Authorities cracked down fast, warning that sharing unverified info or anything stirring panic could lead to prosecution. Only official reports count as truth, like calling drone debris from defenses instead of direct hits. Iran has launched over 1,000 missiles and drones so far, with most shot down by UAE air systems. Now influencers are flooding feeds with praise for the shakes and military, sharing slow motion tributes like we know who protects us. State media highlights quick fixes, like the hotel reopening after a fire, no mention of the strike.

The leader has been out visiting hospitals and shops to boost morale. Residents feel the strain, with some fleeing amid fears of running low on interceptors. Four deaths from attacks so far, and the safe haven image is cracking, hitting tourism, real estate, and flights. Neighboring Qatar detained over 300 for similar posts, while Kuwait banned war content outright. Many expats stick around though, hitting gyms and barbecues like normal. Life goes on under tight controls, balancing the glitz of Dubai with the growing skythreats. This DNN story comes to you thanks to our sponsor. Head in, sound on, lights out, that is the routine.
