Strikes conducted by Armenia and Azerbaijan on civilian population centres outside the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh are threatening to spark off an all-out war between the two former Soviet republics.
Armenia yesterday claimed to have struck a military airport in Azerbaijan's second-largest city of Ganja, which caused at least one civilian death. The rocket attack was apparently in retaliation for Azerbaijan bombing Stepanakert, the largest city in Nagorno-Karabakh, and Mardakert.
