Azerbaijan has formally protested to Russia after its embassy in Kyiv sustained damage during a recent Russian missile strike targeting the Ukrainian capital. The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador to express deep concern over the incident, which endangered diplomatic staff and violated international norms protecting embassies during conflict.
Officials in Baku demanded a thorough investigation and assurances to prevent future violations. The protest underscores rising tensions as regional actors respond to the broader fallout of Russia’s military actions in Ukraine.
No injuries were reported among Azerbaijani personnel, but the damage has sparked calls for increased security and accountability.
