Nagorno - Karabakh war
Nagorno - Karabakh war is a 4-day war that occurred on April 2, 2016, when the Azerbaijan Army launched military action against the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic supported by Armenia. The Nagorno-Karabakh front line has always been a flashpoint between Azerbaijan and Armenia with occasional clashes. Tensions between these two countries have existed since the 1992-1994 conflict that led to the formation of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Azerbaijan has always considered this territory as occupied territory while Armenia considers it an independent territory. Nagorno - Karabakh war became one of the shortest wars in history that had a devastating human cost.
In the Nagorno - Karabakh war, both sides use all kinds of weapons from tanks, heavy artillery, rocket launchers, and air power. The war really had no clear winner as the Azerbaijani army failed to capture Nagorno-Karabakh while Armenia repelled the Azerbaijani army. But on the afternoon of April 5, 2016, an agreement was reached on ending the hostile acts between the two sides. Tense relations persist between the two sides, but the brief battle has left at least 60 soldiers and several civilians dead, according to both sides. But it's possible that the number could be high due to a lack of accurate information from the front lines.
