Nagorno-Karabakh: Armenia-Azerbaijan truce broken minutes after deal
18 October 2020
Armenia and Azerbaijan have accused each other of violating a humanitarian ceasefire in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Both sides agreed had agreed a truce to start at midnight local time (20:00 GMT Saturday).
But an Armenian defence ministry spokeswoman said Azerbaijan broke the ceasefire after just four minutes by firing artillery shells and rockets.
Azerbaijan later said Armenia had broken the truce after two minutes.
Both countries signed a Russian-brokered ceasefire last Saturday. However, clashes continued despite that accord.
