On March 27 at 12 pm in the Twentieth Station settlement of the Sabail district of Baku the residents heard a loud roar resembling an explosion. The walls shook and the frightened people took to the streets. It was like an earthquake, but there were no other shocks, a witness Rosa Askerova told Turan. "It seemed that a rock fell down," she said.
However, the seismic service of the National Academy of Sciences has not confirmed the fact of the earthquake, though a strange noise and vibrations have been recorded.
In the Ministry of Emergency Turan was told that nothing was fixed and no one has reported on this occasion.
There have not been any official reports about the incident yet. -03B-

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
