Earlier that day, it was reported in Baku that rockets were fired from the territory of Armenia at the city of Ganja, and the villages of Agdam and Terter regions and the cities of Terter and Horadiz in the Fizuli region were fired from the Karabakh Stepanakert.
Armenia, for its part, announced the shelling of civilian targets in Stepanakert by the Azerbaijani army and denied the fire from its territory.
Later, the NKR authorities reported that they attacked military targets in Azerbaijani cities in response to the shelling of civilian targets by the Azerbaijani army in Stepanakert. It was alleged that the Karabakh military destroyed the Azerbaijani airfield in Ganja. This was denied in Baku.
The aggravation of the conflict in the NKR took place on September 27. Armenia and Azerbaijan blamed each other for shelling and killed among the military and civilians.
Armenia has repeatedly accused Turkey of participating in the battles on the side of Azerbaijan. Ankara and Baku deny this information, while the Turkish authorities expressed their readiness to provide assistance to the Azerbaijani side upon request.
Russia, France, the United States and the UN called on the parties to a ceasefire and a peaceful settlement.
