Azerbaijan says drones from Iran hit Nakhchivan exclave
Drone strikes damage airport terminal, injure 2 civilians near school, Foreign Ministry says
Azerbaijan said on Thursday that its Nakhchivan exclave was hit by drones launched from Iranian territory.
The country’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the attacks occurred around midday, with one drone striking the terminal building of Nakhchivan International Airport, while another fell near a school building in the village of Shakarabad.
“We strongly condemn these drone attacks launched from the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which resulted in damage to the airport building and injuries to two civilians,” the statement said.
It added that the attack “constitutes a violation of the norms and principles of international law and serves to increase tensions in the region.”
The ministry said Azerbaijan reserves the right to take “appropriate response measures.”
It also said Iranian Ambassador to Baku Mojtaba Demirchilou was summoned to the Foreign Ministry, where a “strong protest” would be conveyed and a diplomatic note presented to the Iranian side.
