The Media Development Agency of Azerbaijan has rejected rumors that missiles were fired from Azerbaijan towards Gulf countries, describing the reports as entirely false and baseless.

In an official statement, the agency said that unverified information has recently been spreading across social media platforms, alleging missile launches originating from Azerbaijani territory. Authorities stressed that these claims do not reflect reality, The Caspian Post reports, citing Media Development Agency of Azerbaijan.

The agency warned that, amid ongoing regional tensions, the spread of inaccurate and unconfirmed information can mislead public opinion and appears to be part of deliberate disinformation efforts.

“These types of allegations are either intentional provocations or the result of irresponsible and baseless approaches,” the statement said.

Officials also highlighted that, given modern technological capabilities, it is not difficult to determine the origin and trajectory of missiles or other aerial objects. Countries in the region, including those in the Gulf, operate advanced radar and monitoring systems capable of accurately identifying such activity.

The agency reaffirmed that Azerbaijan remains committed to international law, respect for state sovereignty, and maintaining regional stability.

It called on media outlets and social media users to rely only on verified and credible sources, and to refrain from spreading unconfirmed or manipulative information.

The statement also urged journalists and content creators to demonstrate professionalism and responsibility, emphasizing the importance of accuracy in information dissemination, particularly during sensitive periods.
