About 30 rockets were heard in Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, last night, and Armenian officials are accusing the Azerbaijani army of the attack. The attacks partially damaged the infrastructure so that parts of the city do not have electricity. Warning sirens are constantly heard in the city, TASS reports.

In other news, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said that the Nagorno-Karabakh issue could not be resolved by violence and called on the international community to recognize the independence of that region, which is part of Azerbaijan with a majority Armenian population.

At the same time, the President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, says that the armistice in Nagorno-Karabakh, where the conflicts have been going on for 11 days, cannot be unilateral.

Pashinyan and Aliyev gave separate interviews to Euronews in which they made mutual accusations about who is responsible for the escalation of the conflict. "A truce cannot be achieved unilaterally. It should be a bilateral decision. In addition, it should be applied on the ground," Aliyev said.

According to him, Armenia attacked their military positions, infrastructure and civilians, TASS reports. On the other hand, the Armenian leader says that the position of Yerevan remains the same. "The Karabakh issue cannot be solved by violence. No solution can be achieved by violence," he said.

Pashinyan added that the international community should recognize the independence of the unrecognized Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh if it wants to stop the humanitarian catastrophe in the region.

Armenian Defense Ministry spokesman Artsrun Hovhannisyan said that Azerbaijan was preparing an offensive, gathering an army on the Iranian border so that Karabakh could not open fire on them.

At the same time, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia, Shushan Stepanyan, stated that at night the enemy tried to fortify itself in the southeast direction, although it did not reach the city of Jabrayil, but that artillery units of the Armenian armed forces backfired.

As she said, at 6:30 am local time, after another rocket-artillery attack, the remnants of three super-heavy enemy brigades fled the battlefield, leaving another 60 dead, as well as 22 units hit and several dozen units of equipment, Sputnik reported.

The Armenian Ministry of Defense published a video of the destruction of the fuel depot of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan. Spokeswoman Susan Stepanyan also confirmed that information by posting on Facebook.

"As a result of the brilliantly performed actions of the Karabakh Defense Army, another warehouse of oil derivatives of vital importance for the Azerbaijani army was destroyed," Susan Stepanyan wrote on her Facebook.

The representative of the Ministry of Defense of Armenia, Artsrun Hovhannisyan, announced on his Facebook that there was a barracks with enemy soldiers next to the destroyed warehouse, reports Sputnik.

He says that the army of Karabakh shelled the fuel warehouse, as a result of which the barracks was destroyed.
