Since then, at least 24 civilians have been killed, 121 injured and more than 300 buildings destroyed. A spokesman for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said.

The area is populated and controlled by ethnic Armenians, and is supported by the Armenian Diaspora but sits in Azerbaijani territory. It is heavily militarized and its forces are backed by Armenia, which has a security alliance with Russia.
