A GRENADE was thrown into an Australian Defence Force (ADF) compound near the Australian embassy in the East Timorese capital Dili.

The ADF is reviewing security in Dili after the explosion last night damaged vehicles and a building.

A defence spokeswoman confirmed today the explosion was caused by a grenade.

"The explosion has been confirmed as the explosion of a grenade," she said.

The house is adjacent to the Australian embassy.
