An Iranian missile struck near the Al Minhad airbase in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), damaging a facility that houses Australian military personnel. No injuries were sustained during the attack, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced Wednesday morning.
Albanese, speaking to reporters in Tasmania, detailed that an Iranian projectile hit near the base, and confirmed that “no Australian personnel was injured and everyone is absolutely safe at this point in time.”
“There was minor damage to an accommodation block and a medical facility due to a small fire, that was created as a result of that projectile hitting a road leading up to that base,” Albanese explained.
Australian outlets reported the Al Minhad base, owned by the UAE, presently houses more than 100 Australian military personal in addition to British and American personnel.
