Armenia has recalled its ambassador to Israel, a day after an Azeri official boasted of using Israeli weaponry in the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabakh, according to the Walla news site.

In an interview with Walla on Wednesday, the assistant to the president of Azerbaijan said that his country has used Israeli drones, including loitering munitions, or “kamikaze drones,” in the recent round of fighting and lauded their effectiveness.

“Hats off to the engineers who designed it,” Hikmet Hajiyev said. He also said that the Azeris “very much appreciate the cooperation with Israel, especially the defense cooperation.”
