Sharing rumors, false information, or any content that contradicts official announcements or that may cause public panic or threaten public safety, order, or health is prohibited.
Violators may face criminal penalties, including imprisonment and fines of no less than AED 200,000.
In light of the current circumstances, Dubai Police have detected attempts by fraudsters to exploit recent developments by impersonating employees purportedly affiliated with the “Dubai Crisis Management” department and falsely claiming links to Dubai Police.
These attempts aim to unlawfully obtain sensitive information, including UAE Pass credentials and Emirates ID details.
Dubai Police caution that disclosing such data may enable criminals to carry out SIM swap operations and gain unauthorised access to bank accounts through mobile banking applications.
Dubai Police affirm that they do not request confidential information or verification codes via telephone calls or text messages under any circumstances.
Members of the public are strongly urged not to share personal or banking information with any unverified party and to report any suspected fraudulent activity immediately through official channels by calling 901 or via the eCrime platform dedicated to cybercrime reports.
Dubai Airports confirms that a concourse at Dubai International (DXB) sustained minor damage in an incident, which was quickly contained. Emergency response teams were immediately deployed and are managing the situation in coordination with the relevant authorities. Four staff sustained injuries and received prompt medical attention. Due to contingency plans already in place, most of the terminals were previously cleared of passengers. Further updates will be provided as they become available.
Outdated videos and images of past fire incidents in Dubai are circulating on social media. This content is misleading and does not reflect the current situation. The public and media are urged to rely solely on official sources for accurate information and refrain from sharing unverified material. Legal action will be taken against those who publish or republish such content in violation of UAE law.
Due to multiple regional airspace closures, Emirates has temporarily suspended all operations to and from Dubai, up until 1500hrs UAE time on Sunday, 1 March.
