Azerbaijan reports 30 casualties, 144 injuries among civilians in Karabakh - Mission to UN

UNITED NATIONS, Oct 8 (Sputnik) At least 30 Azerbaijani civilians were killed and more than a hundred injured in the ongoing clashes in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, Azerbaijan Mission to the United Nations Third Secretary Lala Mehdiyeva said during a UN General Assembly Third Committee meeting.
"Thirty Azerbaijani civilians were killed and 144 wounded. Sixty-six civilian facilities and 427 houses have been destroyed," Mehdiyeva said on Wednesday. "The casualties include women and children. An entire family of five was annihilated."
Hostilities in Nagorno-Karabak, an Armenian-dominated breakaway region from Azerbaijan, erupted on September 27 when both parties accused each other of violating the existing ceasefire.
Mehdiyeva called for an investigation into what she termed were "egregious war crimes," adding that foreign mercenaries have been recruited to participate in the military operations against Azerbaijan.
"Foreign mercenaries have been recruited as volunteers and used in combat operations against Azerbaijan," she said.
Armenia and the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh, which controls most parts of Nagorno-Karabakh, said that Azerbaijan had launched an offensive on the breakaway region. Since, Armenia declared martial law and full mobilization while Azerbaijan declared martial law and partial mobilization.
Numerous countries, including Germany and Russia, have called on the warring parties to cease hostilities and settle their differences by engaging in dialogue. However, Turkey has vowed to support Azerbaijan in any way the country needs.
