An air and land search for a missing suspected asylum seeker is underway in Western Australia.
It comes after a boatload of 15 men, thought to be of Chinese descent, arrived in the Kimberley and wandered onto the Truscott Airbase on Friday afternoon.
The airbase is in a remote part of the Kimberley.

However, one man is believed to be missing from the group, which has sparked the joint operation with Border Force and WA Police.
Drones are also searching for the boat the group is thought to have arrived by, which is the third boat since November to arrive on the Australian mainland undetected.
9News understands some of the men have been flown to Darwin, with the remainder expected to arrive later today.
