Between the 13th and 14th of April, Iran attacked Israel with drones and rockets in retaliation for a deadly strike on its consulate in Syria on April 1st.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Albania announced that the 15 citizens left Tel Aviv on Sunday and are currently in Cyprus. Their flights to Albania were canceled on Sunday morning due to the tense situation in the region.
Meanwhile, there has been no official reaction from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora of Kosovo regarding the evacuation of the three Kosovar citizens.
However, a day earlier, the ministry published a hotline number for the Embassy of Kosovo in Israel for all Kosovo citizens in the state who may need assistance following Iran's attack.
