On the Ground with Families Fleeing Bombs in Battle for Nagorno-Karabakh

VOA News

   NAGORNO-KARABAKH - "Hey, hey, let's go there," said one man to another,
   as sirens started to wail. The sirens were supposed to go off before
   the strikes, but on Friday that wasn't the case.

   The men dashed across the street and into a basement surrounded by
   sandbags in Nagorno-Karabakh's regional capital, Stepanakert, as bombs
   continued to explode.

   After more than two weeks of renewed fighting in this nearly
   30-year-old conflict, more people can be found underground than on the
   streets. In the basement, a man who called himself Lord Milord said
   this fight is different from the battles in 2016, and even from the war
   in the 1990s that left tens of thousands of people dead and more than a
   million displaced.
