The 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is an ongoing armed conflict between the Azerbaijani and Armenian armed forces in Nagorno-Karabakh, the latest flareup in the unresolved Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
At the heart of the conflict is a dispute over control of the mountainous region of Nagorno-Karabakh.
It is recognised as part of Azerbaijan, but has been controlled by ethnic Armenians since a war in the 1990s.
Tens of thousands of people died during the war and a million others were forced to leave their homes.
The 2020 clashes began in the morning of 27 September 2020 along the Nagorno-Karabakh line of contact. Both sides reported military and civilian casualties. In response to the clashes, Armenia and the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh introduced martial law and total mobilization, while Azerbaijan introduced martial law and a curfew, with Vilayet Eyvazov being the commandant.
On 28 September partial mobilization was declared in Azerbaijan.
As of September 28 Armenian authorities said 31 of their soldiers had now died, and some lost positions had been retaken.
Videos posted online shows corpses of young Azerbaijani soldiers.
More updates soon.
