Iran Drone Attack at Azerbaijan Airport Tensions between Iran and Azerbaijan escalated significantly on Sunday after a drone attack targeted Baku's Heydar Aliyev International Airport. The incident occurred at around 2:30 am local time, with authorities confirming that the airport sustained significant damage. Eyewitnesses described hearing loud explosions and seeing flames engulfing parts of the facility. "I was sleeping when I heard a huge boom," said one resident who lives nearby. "I rushed to the window and saw smoke filling the sky. It was like nothing I've ever seen before." No casualties have been reported, but officials stated that several buildings within the airport complex were damaged in the attack. The extent of the damage is still being assessed. Iran has denied any involvement in the incident, with Foreign Ministry spokesperson Saeed Iravani calling the allegations "baseless." However, Azerbaijani authorities have pointed to Tehran's history of drone attacks and have vowed to take swift action against those responsible. "This is a clear act of aggression," said Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in a statement. "We will not tolerate such provocations and will take all necessary measures to ensure the security of our citizens and our territory." The incident has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation between Iran and Azerbaijan, two countries that have had a tense relationship in recent years. The attack also highlights the growing threat posed by drone technology, which can be used to launch attacks on civilian targets. As investigations continue into the incident, international leaders are urging restraint from all parties involved. "We condemn any violence or aggression against civilians," said European Union foreign policy ...#Iran #Azerbaijan #Heydar_Aliyev_International_Airport #Ilham_Aliyev #Saeed_Iravani #Josep_Borrell
