Key points

• The advisory is Level 3 'Reconsider Travel', citing terrorism, armed conflict and landmine risk, with some areas at increased risk.

• A drone strike hit Nakhchivan International Airport on 5 March 2026, and commercial flights have been seriously disrupted.
• Terrorist attacks may occur with little or no warning and may target tourist locations, transportation centers such as airports, markets and shopping malls, government buildings, hotels, clubs and restaurants, places of worship, parks, major sporting and cultural events, and educational institutions.
• Do not travel to the southern border region (unless it is your best overland exit from Iran), the border with Armenia, and landmine-affected territories including Aghdam, Aghdara, Fuzuli, Gubadli, Jabrayil, Kalbajar, Khankendi, Khojaly, Khojavend, Lachin, Shusha and Zangilan.
