This development came just hours after launching a military operation in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Anar Eyvazov, the spokesperson for the Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense, said that “more than 60 combat positions of the Armenian (separatist) armed forces units are now under the control of our armed forces.”
Tensions have simmered in the Nagorno-Karabakh region for decades, with sporadic outbreaks of violence occurring over the years.
The latest escalation raises concerns about the stability of the region and the potential for further conflict.
International observers are closely monitoring the situation as it unfolds. (ILKHA)
