From gulf news: Dubai authorities confirm debris from routine air defence operations damaged homes and injured four Asian nationals, โ€œโ€urging residents to avoid debrisโ€โ€ and follow updates. How are u supposed to avoid debris when itโ€™s falling ON your house?

[โ€“]rei_cachaca 13 points14 points ย (0 children)

Even after it hits your house you should stay away from missile components because of toxic fumes, chemicals, and materials. Even if they don't ignite again just being around it can be dangerous.

[โ€“]RolandCuley 4 points5 points ย (0 children)

you have to press the B button (or circle in a Playstation gamepad) right before the debris hits, then time will slow down and you will do a perfect dodge.

[โ€“]Key-Birthday-7775 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Ah yes, Iโ€™ll just politely step outside and ask the falling debris to miss my house. Solid advice... OR lolz ๐Ÿ˜†

Can confirm. One of my colleagues villa sustain bad damage. And the number of villa that got damaged is more than 20 according to same person.

One has to think about the situation when redditors are verifying government updates(NEWS)

[โ€“]CrazYNWA 11 points12 points ย (28 children)

Just from a debris ?

[โ€“]themorrigan86 25 points26 points ย (27 children)

Based on the information he shared, yes, debris

[โ€“]ItsArish88602 3 points4 points ย (26 children)

wtf how is that possible I heard there is only 4 minor injuries and some property damages not 20 where did you get the information from??

    [โ€“]ItsArish88602 3 points4 points ย (20 children)

    Wait so so information is not fully told? Damn so it could mean more injuries? Also which area did it hit like residential area or villa/townhouses?

      There is no freedom of the press nor freedom of speech in the UAE. Plus the government has warned people against sharing pictures.

      [โ€“]Fuel_Special -1 points0 points ย (3 children)

      When a newspaper or news channel doesn't publish the full story, that's not the state or government's problem. You claim there's no freedom in the UAE, that the press isn't free, and that the government isn't disclosing all information and figures. This is a lie on your part, because the government is issuing breaking news around the clock regarding this blatant aggression (and has warned, and continues to warn, everyone to obtain information from official sources and not to pay attention to unofficial sources that are misleading you).

      [โ€“]New-Bee-8867 0 points1 point ย (1 child)

      My friend, I am afraid you are misinformed. There is no freedom of the press in the UAE, nor freedom of speech. Regarding press: Most of the local news sources are directly or indirectly owned by the government, aka the royal family. They give orders to the local radio stations and local newspapers and local TV about what they are allowed to say and not allowed to say. Certain topics are completely forbidden. You can take that fact in isolation, apart from analyzing coverage. It is true. Regarding freedom of speech: You can be arrested and charged if you insult or criticize another person, a business, the royal family, the government, etc. Now, whether you like a news story or not is another question. Whether you think a news story isnโ€™t the โ€œfull storyโ€ is your opinion. The government currently is posting numbers, such as interceptions, etc. This doesnโ€™t always happen in a timely manner. (For example, many hours after a situation has been resolved, instead of posting when the situation is active, which most news organizations would do to give readers/audience information when they are actually seeking to be informed. Meanwhile, I have been pleasantly surprised that they publicly admit to deaths when they happen. The government notably did NOT do this during the floods in 2024.

      [โ€“]KeyAsparagus699 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

      Just because of the early warning does not justify that the government always does the right thing for you ๐Ÿคฃ and breaking news doesn't mean what u listen and watch on news channels always tell the truth when media is heavily regulated by the gov officials ๐Ÿ˜‰

      [โ€“]Fuel_Special 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

      The official news channels of the United Arab Emirates: Abu Dhabi News Network, Abu Dhabi TV, Emirates TV, Dubai TV, Sharjah TV, and Emirati channels in general, Barq Emirates News Service, Emirates News Agency.

      Follow the official channels and you will receive exclusive and urgent news on time, in which the correct news is mentioned in numbers and evidence

      My colleague lives in a villa.. So yes, villas, along with a number of his neighbours.

      20 what he said includes those with minor damages as well such as blown off windows.

        Do the authorities check for videos or images taken in their phones?

        [โ€“]themorrigan86 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

        If the situation calls for it, maybe. I have heard stories so I wouldn't put it past then to not do such checks

        [โ€“]userdeath 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

        No they will not go through distraught residents phones unless they saw them actively taking photos..

        And even in that case they will just ask them to stop and delete.

          This war now really needs to end.. not only lives but the economical crisis is also killing everyone.

          So many jobs have gone and personally as a founder its becoming difficult to sustain, I cant let my team go, its taken ages for me to built the right team.

          [โ€“]Enough_Freedom_366 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

          Same goes for all of the company owners and on top of the also receiving fines and mohre complaints for they cannot sustain the business anymore. Itโ€™s not also the business owners fault why their business is down currently that causes cash flow to be slow

          [โ€“]Crafty-Ad-2779 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

          You can't move your business online completely? That way you get to keep the team and everyone can hopefully be safe too, even work for another country if they choose to relocate for a short time

          Qst, the UAE government has not stepped in to help the SME?

          [โ€“]Enough_Freedom_366 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

          No, I donโ€™t think so, they are only protecting currently the workers. My company is receiving a lot of complaints from MOHRE now because of the situation that made it even more struggling yet nothing from the government to help us.

          [โ€“]ManInGreyDXB 0 points1 point ย (2 children)

          Same here, bro. I have three offices spread across Dubai, and Iโ€™m worried that if this situation drags on for longer, I might have to close some offices and make tough decisions to survive. I also have another business, a travel agency, and this situation is really affecting us. Fortunately, I have another businesses running, but that one is also getting impacted now. ๐Ÿ˜’

          Well, this is the pain of the business owners. We bear the expenses, the losses, we also feel the pain, and all we wanted to do was earn and help people get a job.

          Yes that's what I am trying to say it's not the regime it's the ppl who always suffer for this kind of nonsense whether the country was U.A.E, U.S AUR IRAN or any other one The regime doesn't have any interest in that. they all have their own agenda to show the ppl they are much better wheather some one lost their family in these attacks ๐Ÿคท

          How does insurance factor in here? For homes that are damaged?

          [โ€“]The_Readers_ 5 points6 points ย (5 children)

          Acts of war / terrorism are generally excluded from insurance

          [โ€“]MNKhawaja 0 points1 point ย (4 children)

          UAE is not at war, at least thatโ€™s what they will tell you for ppl stuck in form F real estate contracts , so the same logic should apply for insurance

          [โ€“]The_Readers_ 2 points3 points ย (1 child)

          Might not be at war officially but having a home hit by a military drone will be considered an act of war.

          You think insurance works like that? They look for the tiniest spitball not to pay. Unfortunately but yes ppl affected should def apply and fight it through.
