• Ethnic Armenians in Azerbaijan’s breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh agree to a Russian proposal for a ceasefire, a day after Azerbaijan began an offensive to take control of the enclave.
• Azerbaijan’s Defence Ministry confirms it has reached agreement on a ceasefire in the mountainous ethnic region, which is Armenian-populated.
• Armenian officials say at least 27 people were killed in Azerbaijan’s operation, while Baku says at least one soldier was killed, blaming Yerevan’s troops. Neither figure could be verified.
• Azerbaijan said it had aimed to destroy military facilities belonging to Armenia’s security forces. Armenia denied the presence of military stations and personnel in Nagorno-Karabakh, accusing Azerbaijan of spreading false information.
