An attack occurred in Brussels against the Azerbaijani Ambassador to NATO, Jafar Husseinzade, and his wife, with the couple being robbed. This was reported by Azerbaijani media outlets, referencing the Belgian publication Sudinfo.

The incident took place on August 6, when the couple went for a morning walk along Louise Avenue. According to the publication, two assailants on a rented scooter struck the ambassador and his wife on the head with a firearm and stole two luxury Rolex watches valued at a total of 90,000 euros.
