Azerbaijan on Thursday accused the Iranian regime of a drone attack targeting its territory that injured four people and said it would retaliate as the conflict in the Middle East spread further.

The country’s foreign ministry said that on Thursday, “drone attacks were carried out” in Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic—a landlocked exclave that borders Armenia, Turkey, and Iran—that originated from Iran. One struck an airport building in the autonomous region, and another fell near a school building in a village, the ministry said.
