Azerbaijan has vowed to respond after a pair of Iranian drones crossed its border and injured four people in the Nakhchivan exclave on Thursday. The Azerbaijani Defence Ministry stated that it was investigating the types of drones used in the attack and preparing response measures to protect the country's territorial integrity and sovereignty. Azerbaijan and Iran have tense relations, with Baku's growing ties to Turkey and Israel contributing to tensions. Iran has been retaliating for US and Israeli strikes since Saturday in an air war engulfing the Middle East. The Foreign Ministry demanded that Iran clarify the incident, provide an explanation, and take measures to prevent similar incidents. An Iranian ambassador was summoned to the ministry after a formal note of protest was issued.
