Iranian drones struck an airport and nearby school in Azerbaijan on Thursday, injuring two people, according to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry. The attacks occurred in the Nakhchivan region, located approximately six miles from Iran's border.

One drone strike hit near Nakhchivan Airport, igniting a fire, while another struck beside a school in the area. Video footage captured the moment of impact at the airport facility. The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry confirmed the casualties and condemned the attacks.

Azerbaijan has reserved the right to retaliate against Iran following the drone strikes, according to official statements. The incidents represent an expansion of regional conflict into Azerbaijani territory.

The strikes come amid broader escalating tensions in the Middle East, with multiple countries now affected by the widening conflict. Iran has been involved in various military actions across the region in recent days.

Nakhchivan is an autonomous exclave of Azerbaijan, separated from the main country by Armenian territory and bordered by Iran and Turkey. The strategic location has made it sensitive to regional conflicts and cross-border incidents.
