Recent conflict in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region led to the unfortunate death of at least four soldiers and one wounded, coinciding with peace negotiations in the US attended by Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers and secretary of state Blinken. Azerbaijan reportedly deployed artillery and drones in some regions of Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry claimed it retaliated after an Armenian attack injured one of its soldiers. This incident signifies the latest in a series of conflicts in Nagorno-Karabakh and along the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, despite ongoing efforts to halt the violence.
