The device was found on board the HMAS Leeuwin, docked in Cairns, in the northeast of the country, the Ministry of Defense said, without further details. There might even be more than one camera.

Riyadh-led coalition targets oil facilities in Yemen

The Saudi-led coalition confirmed it had targeted oil installations in the Houthi-controlled Yemeni capital Sanaa, as well as two other sites in Saada and Dhamar provinces, hours after calling on civilians to evacuate. Three Houthi ballistic missiles were intercepted over eastern Saudi Arabia, with debris falling on a residential area of ​​Dhahran, headquarters of Aramco. The coalition claims to have neutralized the Houthis' abilities to threaten the kingdom, Yemen and international shipping lanes, while the Houthis have threatened to retaliate harshly, including targets like the Aramco headquarters in Dhahran and a refinery in Riyadh. The Saudi Council of Ministers said the Houthis would suffer the consequences of their repeated attacks.
