Three Iranian drones have reportedly targeted the passenger terminal of the airport in Azerbaijan’s Nachichivan, near the border with Iran. At least two people were injured after Iranian drones targeted the passenger terminal of Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan International Airport on Thursday. According to a statement from Azerbaijani authorities, one drone struck the airport’s terminal building, while another fell near a school 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 of two civilians,” the statement said. Videos from the scene show a drone flying towards the airport, damage to its main terminal and emergency crews on site.
Baku has requested an official explanation from Tehran “within the shortest possible timeframe” and demanded that the attacks not repeat. Nakhchivan is in close proximity to the Iranian-Azerbaijani border.
