Azerbaijan Launches Military Attack on Nagorno-Karabakh

Azerbaijan began a military operation to take control of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, prompting international condemnation of the most serious escalation since a war with neighboring Armenia that killed thousands three years ago.

The Azerbaijani army on Tuesday started a “local anti-terrorist operation” aimed at destroying Armenian military positions in the disputed territory and “restoring the constitutional order,” the Defense Ministry in Baku said on its website. Russian peacekeeping troops who are in Nagorno-Karabakh following the 2020 war have been notified of the action, the ministry said.
