⁍ The number of Armenian troops killed in the latest conflict in the region that began on Sept. 27 has risen by 36 to 963.
⁍ The collapse of two Russia-brokered ceasefires has dimmed hopes for a quick end to fighting.
– A ceasefire between Azerbaijan and the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabakh broke down on Friday, leading to a fresh outbreak of fighting that has killed at least 30 people, the BBC reports. Azerbaijan accuses Nagorno-Karabakh of violating the ceasefire, while Nagorno-Karabakh accuses Azerbaijan of launching mortar attacks that have killed at least 10 of its troops. Russia brokered the ceasefires, which were supposed to take place on Sept. 27 and Oct. 1, Reuters reports. According to Interfax, the number of Armenian troops killed in the latest conflict in the region that began on Sept. 27 has risen by 36 to 963, the defense ministry of Nagorno-Karabakh said on Saturday. The breakdown of the ceasefire has dimmed hopes for a quick end to fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh, a breakaway territory in Azerbaijan controlled by ethnic Armenians.
