 The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry released video on September 19 that says shows the country's military hitting targets in the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region. Azerbaijan on Tuesday launched a military operation in the region, saying it needed to restore constitutional order and drive Armenian military units out of its territory. Armenia denied having forces in the area. Karabakh is internationally recognized as Azerbaijani territory but part of it is run by breakaway ethnic Armenian authorities who say the area is their ancestral homeland. It has been at the center of two wars, the latest in 2020 since the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union.
