Drone footage from the Azerbaijan military shows heavy shelling of a reported Armenian-Artsakh military position in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

The several-decades of conflict stems from Armenian people laying ancestral claims to territory internationally recognized as belonging to Azerbaijan. A short but bloody war was fought in 2020, in which Azerbaijan trounced the Armenian military with cutting edge weapons technology while Armenian forces tried relying on Cold War era equipment.

Following the war, the Armenians were pushed out of many of the areas, and Russian peacekeepers were brought in to ensure the stipulations of the ceasefire were held. Since Russia is now redirecting all available military ground forces to Ukraine, the Azerbaijan-Armenian conflict is flaring back up.
