Pakistan expresses solidarity with Azerbaijan amid drone attacks, urges de-escalation

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar on Thursday expressed solidarity with Azerbaijan after drone attacks wounded four people in the country, urging de-escalation in tensions as Baku vowed retaliation against Iran. The midday attacks involved at least four drones that crossed from Iran into Azerbaijan’s exclave of Nakhichevan bordering Iran, Baku said. Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev accused Iran of “terrorism,” threatening retaliation for attacks that wounded four. Tehran denied the allegation and blamed Israel, Azerbaijan’s ally, of trying to stage a provocation.
