Azerbaijan Releases Footage Showing Its Military 'Attacking Armenian Army'

The Armenian Defence Ministry earlier said that Azerbaijani forces had launched an attack on Stepanakert, the capital of the unrecognised Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Azerbaijan's Defence Ministry has published footage of a reported attack on military equipment of the Armenian Armed Forces.

The ministry on Friday accused the Armenian military of shelling civilian population points in the Aghdam region, which is partially administered by the unrecognised Republic of Artsakh but falls outside the traditional demarcation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan escalated on Sunday when the two sides accused each other of carrying out provocations along the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh.
