Fighting continues between Armenia and Azerbaijan

Fighting continued between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces over the separatist region of Nagorno Karabakh with both sides blaming each other for resuming the attacks that reportedly killed and wounded dozens.

The Azerbaijani Defence Ministry claimed Armenian forces shelled the town of Tartar, while Armenian officials said the fighting continued overnight and Baku resumed "offensive operations" in the morning.

Footage released by both countries' defence ministries shows soldiers on either side of the conflict engaged in fighting with artillery and missile launchers.

Associated Press has not been able to verify the footage, the location or date the videos were filmed.

The heavy fighting broke out Sunday in the region that lies within Azerbaijan but has been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by the Yerevan government since 1994 at the end of a separatist war.
