Heavy fighting between Azerbaijan and Armenia
Precarious situation in the Caucasus.
Heavy fighting broke out once more between Azerbaijan and Armenia on Tuesday night. The Armenian Defense Ministry in Yerevan said that Azerbaijani troops attacked Armenian positions in three places with artillery and large-caliber weapons. This was reported by Russian news agencies.
In Baku, the Azerbaijani defense ministry said a large-scale attempt at sabotage by Armenians had sparked the fighting.
The news portal “Nexta” has posted a video that is supposed to show the rocket fire in the region.
The former Soviet republics have been at war with each other over the Nagorno-Karabakh region for decades. It is inhabited by Armenians but belongs to Azerbaijan. In 2020, Azerbaijan improved its position in a four-month war.
Now the next threatens. (gla, dpa)
