More than 7,000 people must have been evacuated from the area. Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt is concerned about the situation. – I had a meeting with Armenia’s foreign minister yesterday. He is very worried about people in Nagorno-Karabakh, and their access to food and medicine, says Huitfeldt to news. She thinks it is too early to say whether the conflict has the potential to become a full-scale war. – It has the potential to get even worse, but we must do what we can to de-escalate the situation.

The military forces continue in Nagorno-Karabakh on Wednesday. Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Defense informs Reuters. In a statement on Telegram, the ministry writes that, among other things, military vehicles, artillery and anti-aircraft missiles from the Armenian forces have been neutralized. This has not been confirmed by independent sources. CONCERNED: Foreign Minister Anniken Huitfeldt is concerned about the situation.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres calls for the fighting to “stop immediately”. Furthermore, he demands that Azerbaijan respect the ceasefire that was concluded in 2020, according to AFP. The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, asks Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev to stop the military actions immediately. Established humanitarian corridors On Tuesday, Azerbaijan launched extensive attacks against the mainly Armenian-populated enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh. Explosions could be heard in and around the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, Stepanakert, on Tuesday. Azerbaijani authorities say they have established humanitarian corridors both on the Lachin road and on another road for those wishing to leave Nagorno-Karabakh. Nagorno-Karabakh is formally part of Azerbaijan, but in practice has been self-governing and closely linked to Armenia after a bloody war in the early 1990s. That time, the better organized Armenian forces prevailed. In 2020, Azerbaijan recaptured large areas.
