The UAE environment ministry says the oil leak from the Gem No. 2 tanker off Umm Al Quwain has been stopped with no new leakage detected, and marine pollution along coastlines off Umm Al Quwain and neighbouring northern emirates has declined. Tasnim News, citing UAE authorities, reports the temporary closure of some coastal areas after the spill. An anonymous Middle East Observer Telegram post says control of the leak is confirmed and cleanup is ongoing on affected coastlines.

Verification
Confirmed: 2 independent sources.
Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
