"The attacker destroyed the guard post with a Kalashnikov automatic weapon and killed the head of the security service. Two security guards of the embassy were also injured while preventing the attack. Their condition is satisfactory," said the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry in a statement.

The suspect in the attack was detained, according to Azerbaijani state media reports.

An investigation is currently underway into the "treacherous attack," said the ministry.
