Emirati cousins go missing in Munich, Germany

Abu Dhabi: Two young Emirati cousins have gone missing in Munich, Germany, since Wednesday evening, with Emirati authorities saying they are following the situation closely to help locate the boys.

A tweet asking for help in locating the two has been going around on social media. Munich is a popular European destination among Gulf tourists.
