This is the city’s huge bazaar, which was also hit. Luckily only 7 or 8 suffered minor injuries. 700 shops here. Many had already been evacuated because missiles had fallen elsewhere in the city.

This was an interesting sight on a trip to Lachin, one of the areas given back to #Azerbaijan after the #NagornoKarabakh conflict. Tree stumps everywhere, trees recently cut down. Was told #Armenians took them before they left, to sell or use. Any more info anyone?
