BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 5. Azerbaijan strongly rejects claims by the Islamic Republic of Iran denying responsibility for the drone attacks on the Nakhchivan region, TurkicWorld reports, citing the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense (MOD).
The Ministry noted that Iran’s armed forces’ assertion that it respects the sovereignty of all countries, particularly Muslim and neighboring states, and that it did not carry out the drone attacks on Azerbaijan, is unacceptable.
Technical monitoring confirmed that four drones launched by Iran’s armed forces were directed toward Nakhchivan. One of the drones was neutralized by the Azerbaijani army, while the others targeted civilian infrastructure, including a secondary school during class hours. Fortunately, the drone targeting the school did not reach its target and crashed nearby, causing an explosion.
"Considering the above, we expect Iran to cease its blatant denials, issue an apology for the incident, and ensure that the responsible parties are held accountable by the relevant Iranian authorities," the statement said.
