TEHRAN (Dispatches) - Another drone most likely belonging to the warring sides of Azerbaijan and Armenia crashed near a village in East Azarbaijan province in Northwestern Iran.
"The drone crashed this morning in national and grassland areas near the village of Qara Qouch in Manjavan district,” Governor of Khoda Afarin region in East Azarbaijan province Ali Amiri Raad told the Islamic republic news agency on Tuesday.
He added that the incident did not leave any damage or human casualty, and noted, "Military experts are investigating to find who owns the drone and the region it took off.”
The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the highland region of Nagorno-Karabakh, a disputed territory that had been part of Azerbaijan before the Soviet Union break-up, but primarily populated by ethnic Armenians, broke out in February 1988 after the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region announced its withdrawal from the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic.
Last Tuesday, another drone had came down inside Northwestern Iranian territories along Iran’s borders with Azerbaijan as the war between Baku and Yerevan entered its seventeenth day.
The drone crashed while flying over a village in the border county of Pars Abad Moghan.
