The artillery duel broke out in Nagorno-Karabakh on Monday between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces, Reuters reported based on reports from the two sides. According to reports that are difficult to verify from an independent source, in which the parties often accuse the other of using heavy artillery, at least 21 people were killed and hundreds injured in the clash.
Clashes between Azerbaijani and Armenian forces broke out in Nagorno-Karabakh on Sunday. Karabakh, embedded in Azerbaijani territory, has been under de facto Armenian rule since 1994. Legally, the situation is stranger: Nagorno-Karabakh has declared itself independent in principle, but this is not recognized by anyone in the world except some other states. unrecognized separatists, and the territory is held by Armenia, which is not viable on its own. Péter Magyari wrote in more detail about the conflict in his article published today.
The war for the region ended in 1994 for the two countries with a ceasefire. The minor clashes have been regular since then, but there has been no example of a conflict of the kind that has been going on since Sunday since the end of the war.
Following Sunday’s clashes, which the parties accuse of breaking out, the army has mobilized in both countries. The Azeris claim that six Azerbaijani civilians were killed in the fighting that lasted two days. Nagorno-Karabakh reported 15 casualties on Monday, 16 casualties on Sunday and more than a hundred wounded.
