Hungary strongly condemns Iranian drone attacks on Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan

The Hungarian Embassy in Baku has condemned the recent Iranian drone strikes on Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic as an unacceptable breach of security.

“The Embassy of Hungary strongly condemns the attacks against the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of the Republic of Azerbaijan. This unacceptable violation of Azerbaijan’s security, sovereignty and the international law undermines regional stability. Hungary stands in solidarity with the Azerbaijani government and the Azerbaijani people. We wish the victims a quick recovery,” the embassy said in a social media statement.

On March 5, drones launched from Iranian territory targeted sites in Nakhchivan. One drone struck the terminal building of Nakhchivan International Airport, while another landed near a school in the village of Shakarabad.

The airport attack injured four civilians. Iran’s ambassador to Azerbaijan, Mojtaba Demirchilu, was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Azerbaijan stated it reserves the right to a retaliatory response.
