Guns also rumbled in the Caucasus on Sunday; Azerbaijan reported that the Armenians attacked the second most populous city in Azerbaijan, while the Armenians claimed that the Azeris again fired on the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, Stepanakert, with heavy artillery.

A rocket attack from Armenia reached the city of Ganja, killing one civilian in a military attack and wounding four others.

said the Azerbaijani Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Armenia has denied that its forces attacked the city of 335,000 inhabitants, but Arajik Harutjunjan, the leader of Nagorno-Karabakh, said 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 (supported by the Hungarian government) under the pretext of Nagorno-Karabakh, a disputed nationality zone inhabited by Armenians but officially owned by Azerbaijan. 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.

Even at night, Azeri and Armenian troops continued to shoot at each other in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave. The Armenians, who say Azerbaijan also deployed “terrorist mercenaries”, shot down three Azerbaijani helicopters and one crashed in Iran. The Azerbaijani side said that either the Armenians would withdraw or the war would continue.

For now, the great powers – Russia, the United States, France and the European Union – have called on the parties to end the fighting to no avail.
