3 Dec 2020


Azerbaijan has said that 2,783 of its soldiers were killed during its conflict with ethnic Armenian forces over the Nagorno-Karabakh region, and that more than 100 of its troops were still missing.

Armenia has not yet disclosed a final death toll for its military, but an ethnic Armenian official confirmed on November 14 that 2,317 soldiers had been killed.

Dozens of civilians from both sides also died during the conflict, which saw Azerbaijan and Armenia accused of using cluster munitions in civilian areas.

I meant to say the last six weeks of the war. The civilian death toll is according to the UN.

They're fighting again! This time, they're apparently fighting in Armenia. A significant escalation. Armenia calls for Russian support, because they've promised to help them if they're attacked, but Russia might not be able to support them atm.

I'm not sure what's happening now, but this is from BBC 3 days ago.

More than 100 Armenian soldiers have been killed in border clashes with Azerbaijan since Monday, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has said.

Azerbaijan said on Thursday that 71 of its troops had been killed, in fighting which both sides blame on the other.

Russia and the US have each called for peace between the two countries.

"The timing of this is interesting because Russia really cannot help Armenia at this very moment," Paul Stronski of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace told NPR. "The timing, the fact that Russia is preoccupied, certainly led to what looks like an Azerbaijani offensive at this time."

sad. hope its settled soon.
