Two Iranian drones struck Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan exclave on Thursday, hitting a civilian airport terminal and landing near a school in what Azerbaijan called a violation of international law. Two civilians were injured. No deaths have been reported.

Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry confirmed that the unmanned aerial vehicles were launched from Iranian territory and hit the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic around noon on 5 March. One drone crashed into the passenger terminal of Nakhchivan International Airport, causing structural damage. A second came down near a school building in the village of Shekarabad, according to Euronews.
