Azerbaijan issued a diplomatic note to Russia over an attack on one of its gas stations

The Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Russian Ambassador Mikhail Yevdokimov and lodged a strong protest over the drone strike on a gas station belonging to the Azerbaijani state-owned company SOCAR in the Mykolaiv region, which took place on the evening of July 5. 

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry emphasized that this incident is not the first of its kind, as the company’s oil depot and gas distribution station in Odesa had previously been targeted, resulting in injuries to employees and significant material damage. 

Diplomats noted that the continuation of such attacks despite repeated warnings indicates their deliberate nature. In addition, Baku recalled past airstrikes that damaged the buildings of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Kyiv and the Honorary Consulate in Kharkiv, calling on Moscow to investigate all the facts, provide explanations, and strictly adhere to international obligationsregarding the protection of civilian facilities and diplomatic missions.

This was reported by Azertaj.

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, more than 200 civilian merchant ships have been damaged as a result of its attacks, Kuleba said.

During the morning shelling on July 6, Russian terrorists struck the DAO sorting terminal of the “Nova Poshta” company in Dnipro.
