The Commission of the Milli Majlis against Foreign Interventions and Hybrid Threats has adopted a Statement regarding UAV attacks on the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of the Republic of Azerbaijan from the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
According to **Modern.az**, the statement reads:
“On March 5, 2026, attacks were carried out on the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with explosive warheads from the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
One of the UAVs damaged the terminal building of Nakhchivan International Airport, while another fell near a secondary school building in Shakarabad village of Babek district. It was determined that four civilians were injured during the attacks.
We assess the targeting of the Airport, which is the sole international air gateway of the Autonomous Republic, and civilian infrastructure as a violation of the norms and principles of international law, and an act of aggression and terrorism aimed at the territorial integrity and sovereignty of our state.
The Commission also considers this treacherous act, carried out by Iran and combining military, political, and informational components, as a hybrid attack operation. At the same time, it is observed that an information campaign supporting Iran's activities and spreading manipulative ideas is being conducted in Azerbaijan's social media segment.
There is no doubt that these attacks were carried out with the aim of creating confusion and fear among our citizens, undermining trust in relevant state institutions, and damaging Azerbaijan's regional position and international reputation.
The Azerbaijani side reserves the right to take appropriate retaliatory measures within the framework of international law.
The Commission against Foreign Interventions and Hybrid Threats calls on our citizens and compatriots living abroad to believe in the strength of our state and official information”.
