At least three soldiers were killed in fighting between Azerbaijani and Armenian forces in disputed territory that’s overseen by Russian peacekeeping troops as part of a truce deal that halted a 2020 war.
Two Armenian serviceman died and 14 were wounded when Azerbaijani troops fired grenade-launchers and used attack drones, the defense army of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic said Wednesday. One Azerbaijani soldier died when units came under intense fire from “illegal Armenian armed formations,†the Defense Ministry in Baku said in a statement.
The fighting took place in the Lachin corridor, a strip of land connecting Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia through Azerbaijan that’s patrolled by Russian peacekeeping forces, and in the enclave’s northeast. As many as 2,000 Russian troops were sent to the area under the agreement brokered by President Vladimir Putin.
