The Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense (MoD) has issued a statement “on missile attack against the territory of the Republic of Türkiye,” the Azerbaijani MoD press service reports.

“We strongly condemn the missile attack carried out against the territory of the Republic of Türkiye that was neutralized over Gaziantep.

Such acts constitute a serious threat to regional peace and security and are unacceptable.

We express full solidarity with the brotherly Republic of Türkiye. We support the Government of Türkiye in ensuring the safety and security of its population and territory.

Azerbaijan stands firmly with Türkiye,” the Azerbaijan MoD statement said.

Earlier, the Turkish MoD reported that NATO air and missile defense forces deployed in the eastern Mediterranean had shot down a ballistic missile launched from Iran in the Turkish airspace.
