An Australian social media influencer living in Dubai is facing criticism online after sharing emotional videos during Iranian missile strikes targeting sites in the United Arab Emirates.
Louise Starkey posted footage to Instagram, as missiles lit up the night sky and air defense systems intercepted projectiles over the city's skyline.
The strikes followed joint US-Israeli attacks on Iranian targets, triggering retaliation across parts of the Middle East.
Starkey appeared visibly shaken as she filmed from a balcony overlooking high-rise towers, saying, 'I'm scared. I'm actually so scared.'
She later added, 'It's not meant to be happening here,' and asked, 'Can't everyone just chill out?'
The videos have reportedly been viewed more than a million times.
While some social media users offered words of support and urged her to stay safe, others took issue with her remark that the violence was 'not meant to be happening here.'
