Tehran denies responsibility but strike raises prospect of US-Israel war on Iran spreading beyond Middle East
Middle East crisis – live updates
Azerbaijan has accused Iran of a drone attack that struck the region of Nakhchivan, hitting an airport and injuring two civilians.
The strike would be the first Iranian attack on a Caucasus state since the start of the US-Israel war on the country, and raises the prospect of the conflict spreading beyond the Middle East.
Azerbaijan’s foreign ministry said the drone hit the terminal building at the only airport in Nakhchivan, an Azerbaijani exclave bordering Iran. A second drone fell close to a school in a nearby village, the ministry said.
