The Embassy of Latvia in Baku condemned Iran's strikes today on the territory of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of Azerbaijan using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Bakivaxti.az reports that this was stated in a post by Latvia's diplomatic mission in Azerbaijan on the social network "X".
"The Embassy of Latvia in Azerbaijan firmly condemns the UAV attacks that resulted in damage to the airport in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic and injuries to civilians, which constitute a violation of the principles of international law. We express our solidarity with Azerbaijan and reaffirm our support for peace and security in the region," the diplomatic mission said.
Recall that on March 5, unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Iranian territory attacked objects in the territory of Nakhchivan. One of the drones landed on the terminal building of Nakhchivan International Airport, and another near a school building in the village of Shekerabad. As a result of the attack on the airport, four civilians were injured. The Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Azerbaijan, Mojtaba Demirchilu, was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Azerbaijan has declared that it reserves the right to deliver a retaliatory strike.
