Azerbaijan deploys air force against Karabakh town

Azerbaijan keeps violating the humanitarian ceasefire and targeting the peaceful settlements and villages of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), the Defense Army reports.

"In addition to shelling the town of Martakert, the enemy also used air force in that direction. Defense Army units take relevant steps to silence the enemy," the Karabakh army said.

Azerbaijan, with help from Turkey and mercenaries deployed by Ankara, launched a large-scale offensive against Karabakh (Artsakh) in the morning of September 27, shelling Armenian positions and civilian settlements with large caliber weapons and rocket systems. The Armenian side has reported deaths and injuries both among the civilian population and the military. Foreign and local journalists too have been injured in Azeri shelling of towns and villages. Although a humanitarian ceasefire was supposed to begin on October 10, Azerbaijan has renewed hostilities along the line of contact.

Donations can be made to Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, which has launched a fundraising campaign to support humanitarian efforts in Karabakh.
