    Three were killed over Karabakh as warring sides claim violations.

New tensions erupted over Nagorno-Karabakh on Wednesday as three soldiers were killed and Azerbaijan said it had taken control of several strategic heights in the disputed region.

Armenia and Azerbaijan fought two conflicts over Azerbaijan's Armenian-populated area of Nagorno-Karabakh, one in 2020 and one in the 1990s.

Six weeks of violence in the autumn of 2020 claimed over 6,500 lives and ended with a ceasefire accord sponsored by Russia.

Russia sent 2,000 peacekeepers to monitor the truce, but tensions remain despite a ceasefire deal.

The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry claimed on Wednesday that Karabakh troops attacked Azerbaijani army posts in the district of Lachin, which is overseen by the Russian peacekeeping force, killing an Azerbaijani conscript.

The army of the breakaway statelet accused Azerbaijan of breaking a ceasefire and murdering two troops while injuring 14 others.

Karabakh declared a "partial mobilization", the army said in a statement, adding that the situation was "relatively stable" Wednesday evening.

"Measures are being taken together with Russian peacekeepers to stabilize the situation," the Karabakh army said.
