In Baku, security forces are raiding the office of the Russian agency Sputnik-Azerbaijan, local media reports.
Azerbaijani law enforcement agencies say that despite the suspension of Sputnik Azerbaijan's activities, the agency actually continued to work, and its employees continued to go to the office.
The search takes place against the background of cooling of Russian-Azerbaijani relations due to detention in Yekaterinburg members of the ethnic group.
