ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Security forces on Sunday deployed to Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku to remove a suspicious package a day before the COP29 climate summit.
Security forces cordoned a street in central Baku to remove what they told Rudaw’s reporter was a suspected bomb attached to a pole for electric scooters.
Bomb disposal teams and police investigated the incident, and Azerbaijan's interior ministry later said in a reply on X that the package belonged to a food supply company.
COP29 will bring together 198 countries in Baku from November 11 to 22. More than 200 leaders and prime ministers are expected to attend the summit this year, in addition to over 1,600 representatives of international organizations.
