Azerbaijani authorities arrested three individuals on January 27, 2026, for allegedly planning a terrorist attack on an embassy in Baku. The suspects are accused of conspiring with members of the ISIL affiliate in Khorasan province (ISKP). According to the State Security Service, the individuals, born in 2000 and 2005, acquired weapons and were preparing to attack the embassy before their apprehension. They face charges of "preparation for terrorism" based on religious hostility, and an investigation is underway. While the targeted embassy was not officially named, Israeli media reported it was the Israeli embassy. The arrests occurred shortly after a meeting between the Azerbaijani President and the Israeli Foreign Minister in Baku.
