Iran army denies launching drone attack on Azerbaijan

Iran’s armed forces have denied having launched a drone attack on Azerbaijan after Baku said at least two Iranian drones hit the country, wounding two people, AFP reports.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran … denies its armed forces launched a drone toward the Republic of Azerbaijan,” the general staff of the armed forces said in a statement, according to state TV.

“Such actions by the Zionist regime, aimed at disrupting relations between Muslim countries in various ways, are not unprecedented.”
