Azerbaijan president vows retaliation after Iran 'terrorist' drone strike

Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev accused Iran of “terrorism” and threatened retaliation after four people were wounded on Thursday in drone attacks on an airport and near a school that Aliyev blamed on his country's neighbour.

"Today, a terrorist act was carried out from the Iranian side against the territory of Azerbaijan," Aliyev told a security council meeting.

Azerbaijan's military "has been instructed to prepare and carry out retaliatory measures" and "placed on mobilisation level number one, and must be ready to conduct any operation," he added.
