️ Uzbekistan's Foreign Minister Baxtiyor Saidov and Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov held a phone conversation. During the talk, the Azerbaijani side informed about a drone attack on Nakhchivan, civilian casualties, and damage to civil infrastructure.

️ Baxtiyor Saidov expressed Uzbekistan's serious concern regarding these attacks. He emphasized that such actions, which contradict international law principles and violate another state's sovereignty and territorial integrity, are absolutely unacceptable.

️ It is recalled that on March 5, in the afternoon, two drones launched from Iranian territory crashed in Azerbaijan—on the runway of an airport in Nakhchivan and near a rural school. Two local civilians were injured.

️ Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs demanded an explanation from Iran and summoned the Iranian ambassador to express protest. Azerbaijan's Ministry of Defense, in turn, stated that it is preparing necessary response measures to protect the country's territorial integrity and sovereignty, as well as ensure the security of the civilian population.
