Australia said on Tuesday that all of its defence personnel stationed at the Al Minhad Air Base near Dubai were safe following a drone attack at the site over the weekend.
"All the Australians who are there are safe and accounted for. There were no injuries to Australians," Defence Minister Richard Marles told reporters in Canberra.
"We've got more than 100 personnel, actually, across the Middle East. Most of them are in the UAE where we've had an operational headquarters at Al Minhad for many, many years now."
