Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed Wednesday that an Iranian missile struck near Australia’s Al Minhad Air Base located in the United Arab Emirates, though he reported no injuries among Australian military personnel stationed there.
Speaking to media in Tasmania, Albanese described the damage as limited. “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 on a road leading up to that base,” the Prime Minister explained.
The incident marks a concerning escalation in regional tensions, with the missile landing close enough to the Australian military installation to cause property damage through the resulting blaze.
