Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev decided to bring the country’s army to “full combat readiness” on Thursday, with the country’s armed forces “instructed to prepare and implement response measures” after Tehran’s drones targeted the passenger terminal of Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan International Airport and a rural school, injuring four civilians.
Chairing the Security Council of Azerbaijan on Thursday, Aliyev demanded that Iran must apologise and explain the incident, calling for “those who committed this terrorist act be held criminally liable” and offering new details by which this would not be an isolated attack by Tehran.
