GPS: Iranian citizens conducting excavations at the support part of the "Khudaferin" bridge were identified

On May 11 around 04:00 on the territory of the border troops of the "Goradiz" Command of the State Border Service (SBS), suspicious activities of unknown persons were noticed in the area of the Khudaferin bridge.

As reported by the press center of the State Border Service, four people who infiltrated from the Islamic Republic of Iran crawled across the Khudaferin bridge and reached the Azerbaijani side, where they began digging the ground at the bridge support.

The patrol guarding the state border was immediately dispatched to the scene, and the opposite side was urgently informed about the incident.

Upon seeing the approaching border patrol, one of the violators jumped into the Araz River, while the other three were detained on Iranian territory.

An inspection was conducted at the scene with the participation of representatives from both sides, during which tools used for earthworks on the bridge were discovered and seized.

According to information from the Iranian side, the detainees are citizens of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Currently, the search for the person who jumped into the Araz River continues with the participation of representatives from both sides.

Operational and investigative measures are being conducted.
