Armenia, Azerbaijan accuse each other of breaking new truce

Armenia and Azerbaijan have accused each other of violating a humanitarian ceasefire that came into force midnight on Sunday. In the early hours of Sunday, Azerbaijan fired artillery shells and rockets. This was reported by Shusan Stepanyan, a spokeswoman for Armenia’s defence ministry. Azerbaijan later accused Armenia of breaking the truce.

The countries have been fighting over Azerbaijan’s ethnic Armenian-controlled enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh.
