Ceasefire in Nagorno-Karabakh Breaks Down as Civilian Casualties Mount in Disputed Area
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Azerbaijan has launched fresh air raids on the capital of the disputed
territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, as a Russia-backed ceasefire between
Azeri and Armenian forces broke down less than a day after it was
implemented Friday. Armenia accused Azerbaijan of deliberately targeting
a historic cathedral, while Azerbaijan accused Armenia of shelling a
residential area in its second-largest city, Ganja. At least 300 people
have been killed since fighting in the territory erupted two weeks ago.
