SYDNEY - Australia provided personnel support to the U.S. and UK in their strikes against Houthi military targets in Yemen, Defence Minister Richard Marles said on Friday.
"Australia's support of these actions came in the form of personnel in the operational headquarters," Marles told a news conference.
"Australia will continue to support any actions which assert the global rules-based order."
