Iranian strikes have reportedly hit an airbase in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) where Australian troops are stationed, according to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
The attack caused a fire at the facility, leading to damage to both medical and accommodation buildings.
An Iranian projectile was said to have landed on a road close to Al Minhad Air Base, which hosts more than 100 Australian military personnel.
Albanese confirmed that no Australian troops were injured in the incident.
It is still unclear whether the strike involved a missile or a drone, but the Prime Minister noted that it sparked a fire that caused minor damage to an accommodation block and a medical facility.
He added that he could not confirm whether Iran deliberately targeted the Al Minhad base, while maintaining that Australia is not at war.
“The Iranian regime is conducting indiscriminate attacks throughout the region. We are aware of this fact,” he stated.
This is the second time the base has come under attack in recent weeks, following an earlier Iranian drone strike during the early phase of the conflict.
