Ilham Aliyev, the President of Azerbaijan, has accused Iran of engaging in “an unprovoked act of terror and aggression” after a drone incident occurred on Thursday. The drone crashed near the airport in Nakhchivan, a region adjacent to Iran but geographically separated from Azerbaijan’s main territory by Armenia. Another drone incident took place near a school in the area.
The Prosecutor General’s office of Azerbaijan reported that the drone incident resulted in injuries to four civilians, all of whom are employees at the airport.
In response to these events, President Aliyev stated that the military has been directed “to prepare and execute countermeasures.”
