Armenia and Azerbaijan have confirmed new clashes on the border near the Lachin Corridor, leaving an unknown number of soldiers dead. 

Baku and Yerevan both accused each other of a ‘provocation’ and breaking the ceasefire on Tuesday, and of using artillery. Both sides also acknowledged an unnamed number of casualties.

According to reports by Armenian pro-government media on Tuesday, at least three Armenian and four Azerbaijani soldiers were killed along with multiple injuries.

The Azerbaijani Defence Ministry said that ‘adequate operational measures’ were being taken. 

According to the Armenian Defence Ministry, the fighting is taking place near the Armenian village of Tegh, in the southern Syunik Province. 

The village sits near the entrance to the Lachin Corridor, with the previous route to Nagorno-Karabakh passing directly through the village. 

Tensions around Tegh have remained high since both Baku and Yerevan confirmed that Azerbaijani troops took new positions near the village.

Tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan have been high for several months, leading to fears of a new escalation or war in Armenia or in Nagorno-Karabakh.
