'Heavy Fighting' over Karabakh amid Azerbaijan Offensive
Armenian and Azerbaijani forces were engaged in intense fighting over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region after Azerbaijan launched a large-scale new offensive on Saturday, Armenian officials said.
Armenia-backed separatist forces had repelled a "massive attack" by Azerbaijan and launched a counter-offensive, Armenian defence ministry spokeswoman Shushan Stepanyan said.
"Heavy fighting is ongoing on other flanks," she wrote on Facebook.
