Iranian drones strike Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry has reported that several drones fired from Iran struck its territory, causing damage and civilian injuries.

One drone reportedly hit a terminal building at Nakhchivan International Airport, while another landed near a school in the village of Shakarabad.

“We strongly condemn these drone attacks carried out from the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which resulted in damage to the airport building and injuries to two civilians,” the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry described the incident as a violation of international law and called on Iran to clarify the situation and take measures to prevent similar events in the future. It added that Azerbaijan “reserves the right to take appropriate response measures.”

In response to the incident, Azerbaijan summoned Iran’s ambassador to lodge a “strong protest” over the drone attacks.
