After days of increasing tension around the Armenian-populated South Caucasus region of Nagorni Karabakh and along the Azerbaijan-Armenia border, Azerbaijan decided to attack on Tuesday afternoon. Sirens wailed in Stepanakert, the capital of the unrecognized “Republic of Artsakh” (Nagorni Karabakh), and the dull rumble of artillery fire could be heard on video footage. Drones circled over the city. Residential buildings were also hit. The residents of Stepanakert sought shelter in cellars and shelters. Injured people were taken to the hospital, including children. The shelling continued during the night.
