French social media personality Maeva Ghennam has reportedly been arrested in Dubai after posting videos capturing missile activity during heightened tensions in the region.
The 28-year-old influencer, who commands millions of followers on Instagram, had shared clips showing her visibly distressed as loud explosions were heard in the background.
In one of the videos, she admitted feeling frightened while recording content inside her residence.
Detention over shared footage
According to reports by France Info, Ghennam was detained alongside three other French nationals.
Authorities are said to have questioned them over the recording and distribution of sensitive footage with ongoing military developments.
The videos, which have since been deleted, reportedly showed smoke rising into the sky as loud blasts echoed nearby.
In another clip believed to have been filmed at night, flashes consistent with missile activity were visible from a distance.
Emotional reaction captured
During the recordings, Ghennam expressed fear and shock at the unfolding situation, noting that such experiences were unfamiliar to her.
She later took to social media to reiterate how unsettling the incident was, describing it as something she would not wish on anyone.
Ongoing concerns
The incident has sparked discussions online about restrictions on filming and sharing security-sensitive content, particularly in regions experiencing military tensions.
Authorities in the United Arab Emirates are known to enforce strict regulations regarding the dissemination of such material.
Further details surrounding the case remain limited, as investigations and official processes continue.
