Video of Alleged Azerbaijani Military Vehicle Destroyed in Karabakh Published by Armenia

The region has been engulfed in armed clashes since the end of September, when hostilities between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh on the one side and Azerbaijan on the other erupted into a major conflict. Both Baku and Yerevan accused each other of aggression in Karabakh and announced mobilisations.

On Thursday, Armenia's military published a new video allegedly showing the destruction of Azerbaijani military equipment in Nagorno-Karabakh. The footage shows a large cloud of smoke rising from a vehicle engulfed in flames. Later, the clip proceeds to show the moment of the strike, revealing the passing vehicle being hit.

Nagorno-Karabakh, or Artsakh, an Armenian-majority autonomy, proclaimed independence from Azerbaijan in 1991, leading to a major military conflict between Baku and Yerevan. However, in 1994 the sides agreed to start a peace process mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group. The conflict has since remained frozen, with Nagorno-Karabakh remaining an unrecognised state.
