Azerbaijan says 192 of its soldiers killed in ‘anti-terrorist’ measures in Karabakh last week
MOSCOW (AA) – The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has said that 192 of its troops were killed and 511 were injured during counter-terrorism measures in Karabakh last week.
The ministry said in a statement posted on its website that there were also two civilian casualties, with one person killed and another injured.
Separately, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry published a list of servicemen killed on September 19 and 20.
On September 20, Azerbaijan suspended its counter-terrorism measures, a day after they were launched to disarm Armenian forces in Karabakh and uphold the 2020 trilateral peace agreement.
Relations between Baku and Yerevan have been tense since 1991, when the Armenian military occupied Karabakh, a territory internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, and seven adjacent regions.
In the fall of 2020, Azerbaijan liberated several cities, villages, and settlements from Armenian occupation during 44 days of clashes. The war ended with a Russia-brokered cease-fire.
