On March 5, around noon, drone attacks were carried out on the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of the Republic of Azerbaijan from the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
“Elchi” reports that this was stated in the statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan.
One drone hit the terminal building of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic Airport, while another drone fell near a school building in Shakarabad village.
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 the injury of two civilians.
This attack on Azerbaijani territory contradicts the norms and principles of international law and serves to increase tension in the region.
We demand that the Islamic Republic of Iran provide clarification on the mentioned issue, give an explanation for it, and take necessary urgent measures to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future.
The Azerbaijani side reserves the right to take appropriate retaliatory measures.
Mojtaba Darmichilou, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the Republic of Azerbaijan, has been summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A strong protest will be conveyed to the Iranian side, and a corresponding protest note will be submitted.
