DB Description Packet -- OSPF

Can anyone tell why we wireshark captures DB Description packets in one OSPF Area but doesnt capture DB Description or Link State Request packet in other area of ospf?

So i have two areas -- Area 0 and Area 1. Area 0 has one router whose one interface is connected to Internet while Area 1 routers are configured in a subnet. And they use Area 0 router as default gateway for internet.

When i run wireshark on Area 0 router, it doesnt capture DB Description or Link State request packets. But Area 1 routers capture these two packets (along with other LSAs, Hello packets)

Can anyone explain pl?

Thanks
