It raises concerns that a full-scale war over the region could resume between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Azerbaijan has launched what it has called an “anti-terrorist operation” targeting Armenian military positions in the Nagorno-Karabakh region – as officials in the area report heavy artillery firing around its capital.
The ministry did not immediately give details but said “positions on the front line and in-depth, long-term firing points of the formations of Armenia’s armed forces, as well as combat assets and military facilities, are incapacitated using high-precision weapons”.But ethnic Armenian officials in Nagorno-Karabakh said the region’s capital Stepanakert and other villages are “under intense shelling”.
Nagorno-Karabakh and sizeable surrounding territories had been under ethnic Armenian control since the 1994 end of a separatist war, but Azerbaijan regained the territories and parts of Nagorno-Karabakh itself in a six-week war in 2020.But Azerbaijan alleges that Armenia has smuggled in weapons since then.
