Harrowing moments as Iranian drone strikes Azerbaijan's airport

Two Iranian drones flew across the border into Azerbaijan and wounded two people at the airport in the Nakhchivan exclave, prompting Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry to lodge an official protest with the Iranian embassy. The ministry said the attack on Azerbaijani territory contravenes international norms and principles of law and contributes to rising tensions in the region. It demanded that the Islamic Republic of Iran clarify the matter as soon as possible, provide an explanation, and take urgent measures to prevent similar incidents in the future. The incident comes less than a week after Israel and the United States launched strikes against Iran on February 28, with U.S. President Donald Trump confirming American involvement. Iran subsequently launched retaliatory attacks, including against U.S. military bases in the Middle East.
