Iranian drones struck Nakhchivan International Airport in Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan exclave on March 5, marking a new escalation in the expanding regional conflict. According to Azerbaijani officials, at least two drones crossed the border from Iran, with one hitting the airport terminal and another landing near a school in a nearby village. The attack injured several civilians and caused structural damage at the airport. Azerbaijan strongly condemned the strike, summoned Iran’s ambassador and warned that the incident would not go unanswered. The drone attack highlights how the wider Iran-related conflict is spreading beyond the Middle East and raising fears of broader regional instability.
