The war for Karabakh: what is happening in Transcaucasia at the moment

That night in Nagorno-Karabakh continued hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan. We have collected the main data about the conflict at the moment.

Theater of military operations

Azerbaijan announced today that it has occupied a number of strategically important heights around the village of Talysh in Nagorno-Karabakh. Baku also reported shelling from the Armenian side of the city of Terter.

In turn, the Ministry of Defense of Armenia reports that they have regained control over several positions in Nagorno-Karabakh, and also that Baku has continued its offensive with the use of artillery and armored vehicles.

In addition, the Armenian authorities accused Azerbaijan of using the TOS flamethrower system, and the Armenian ambassador to Russia also stated that Turkey had transferred about 4 weapons from Syria to Azerbaijan. their fighters

Losses

According to the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan, the number of wounded and killed Armenian servicemen is currently more than 550 people. They also state that the Armenian army lost 22 tanks, 15 Osa air defense systems, 18 drones and 8 artillery installations, and three warehouses with ammunition.

In Armenia, it was estimated that in the battles around Nagorno-Karabakh, about 200 people died on the Azerbaijani side, and 16 died on the Armenian side, and about 100 were wounded.

There are victims among civilians.

However, both sides of the conflict provide mutually exclusive data on losses, and therefore it is still difficult to talk about the exact figures.

Mobilization

Following Armenia, Azerbaijan announced partial mobilization. The corresponding decree was signed by the Azerbaijani leader Ilham Aliyev. Yesterday, Armenia acted in this way.

International reaction

Most of the countries of the world, including Ukraine, expressed their concern about the situation, called on the parties to immediately cease fire and start negotiations. This opinion is held by both the USA and the Russian Federation.

Against this background, Turkey stood out, which supported Azerbaijan and promised comprehensive assistance, as well as Greece: Ankara's traditional opponent supported Armenia.
