Heavy fighting involving artillery, tanks and aircraft broke out on the contact line between Azerbaijan and Nagorny-Karabakh early on Saturday.

It’s so far unclear who's responsible for the harshest escalation in the region since 1994, with Baku and Yerevan shifting blame to each other and claiming to have delivered significant losses to the opposition.

The Azeri Defense Ministry said that it had lost 12 troops, a helicopter and a tank during hostilities on Saturday.

According to Sargsyan, 18 Armenian soldiers were killed and 35 injured in the fighting with Azerbaijani forces.
