A scuffle took place between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces over the conflicted separatist region of the Republic of Artsakh (also known as Nagorno-Karabakh). Artsakh Ministry of Defense ministry stated that 31 soldiers and two civilians have been executed and over 100 others got wounded. Azerbaijan’s president, meanwhile, tells that his military has experienced losses but gave no details. The Armenian National Committee of America – Western Region states that the attacks took place on the morning of September 27th when Azerbaijan started the shelling of civilian communities throughout Artsakh that included the capital city of Stepanakert and surrounding regions.

Armenia also claimed that four Azerbaijani helicopters were shot down and 33 Azerbaijani tanks and fighting vehicles were hit by artillery. Azerbaijan’s defense ministry rejected an earlier claim that two helicopters were shot down. The attacks come months after Azerbaijan initiated an aggressive confrontation against the Republic of Armenia in the Tavush region, and targeted the civilian populations and infrastructure. It was not immediately clear what sparked the fighting, the heaviest since clashes in July, which killed 16 people from both sides.

"I call on the international community to use all of its influence to halt any possible interference by Turkey, which will ultimately destabilize the situation in the region. This is fraught with the most devastating consequences for the South Caucasus and neighboring regions," stated Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. On Sunday, Pashinyan said the nation could review whether to recognize Nagorno-Karabakh as an independent. Such a move would likely obstruct further negotiations.
