Armenia-Azerbaijan clash: 10 dead, 30 injured in shelling

Armenia-Azerbaijan clash: 10 dead, 30 injured in shelling

Baku, Sep 29 (UNI) At least 10 people were killed while 30 others wounded in a Armenia's shelling in Karabakh, Azerbaijan Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
"On September 27, Armenian armed forces blatantly broke the ceasefire and used aggression. Breaching the norms and principles of the international law, they targeted civilians. Ten civilians were killed, 30 injured. Two of the dead were school children," a ministry representative said.
This latest skirmish between the two countries, which fought a war in the 1990s as the Soviet Union was dissolving, has heightened fears of instability in the South Caucasus, a region that provides crucial transit routes for gas and oil to world markets.
Both States have declared martial law and Armenia ordered the total mobilization of its military, according to media reports.
Meanwhile, UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric has earlier said that the Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly calls on the sides to immediately stop fighting, de-escalate tensions and return to meaningful negotiations without delay adding that the UN chief would be speaking to both the President of Azerbaijan and the Prime Minister of Armenia.
