Armenia denied that its forces had attacked the city of 335,000 inhabitants. Arajik Harutjunjan, the leader of Nagorno-Karabakh, however, said that his troops had destroyed an air base in the Azerbaijani city. Armenian reported that fighter jets carrying out attacks in Nagorno-Karabakh had taken off from the military airport near Ganja.

Harutjunjan also reported on Twitter that Azerbaijani forces had once again attacked “civilian targets” in Stepanakert.

A week ago, clashes broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the disputed affiliation of Armenians, but officially part of Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh. The clashes have claimed more than 200 dead and wounded, according to Armenian sources, and the Azerbaijani party reported 19 civilians killed and 60 wounded.

The great powers, Russia, the United States, France and the European Union for the moment, the parties have been summoned to put an end to the fighting in vain.
