Pecohub A British tourist has been arrested in Dubai after reportedly filming Iranian missiles, it has been claimed.
The 60-year-old man, from London, who is understood to have been on holiday, was taken into custody on Monday, according to campaign group Detained in Dubai.
He is currently being held at a police station in the Bur Dubai area of the Emirati city.
The tourist was reportedly seen filming missiles at the time of his arrest. It is not known whether the footage was shared on social media.
It came amid retaliatory Iranian strikes in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and across the broader Gulf region after Iran was attacked by the US and Israel on February 28.
The man could face up to two years in prison or a fine, if he is charged under the state’s cybercrime laws.
Accusations related to national security legislation could see him handed an even longer custodial sentence.
Currently, the man has not been charged – and he could still be released without further action.
