The Australian Government Department of Defence said in a statement Saturday (Jan. 27) that the incident involved an EA-18G Growler during an exercise.
It said Royal Australian Air Force personnel were safe.
An investigation was underway. No further details were released.
Nellis Air Force Base is located in the northeastern outskirts of the Las Vegas area.
The base is home for the U.S. Air Force Warfare Center and various units.
