Retaliatory strikes are occurring in several countries across the Middle East region, following military strikes on Iran. There is a risk of further reprisal attacks and escalation across the region. Airspace closures and flight disruptions have occurred across the region and may impact flights globally, causing delays and cancellations. Contact your airline to confirm your flights. Prioritise your safety, monitor events and follow local advice. See our general advice on protecting your safety during an armed conflict (see ‘Safety’).

Land border crossings into a neighbouring country may open and close at short notice. Check with local authorities on entry requirements and border arrangements. Plan for possible delays and make sure you have supplies of food, water and medication (see ‘Travel’).

Be alert to possible threats, especially in public places. Terrorists may target tourist areas and attractions or other places frequented by foreigners. Take official warnings seriously.

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in Azerbaijan overall due to the threat of terrorism.

Higher levels apply in some areas.
