Azerbaijan continues its war crimes against the civilian population. This was stated on the Facebook page of the Artsakh Human Rights Defender.

On October 29, Azerbaijani forces continuously targeted peaceful settlements in Artsakh, including the capital Stepanakert.

As part of the investigative mission of the Artsakh Human Rights Defender, it was revealed that two civilians were injured as a result of missile strikes on the capital during the day. Residential buildings and vehicles were destroyed or damaged, as well as vital civilian infrastructure.

As a result of the shelling of Shushi city, significant material damage was inflicted on the residential areas and civilian objects of the city.

Moreover, due to the Azerbaijani strikes in the village of Sghnakh in the Askeran region, two civilians were injured. The regional centers of Askeran, Martakert, and Martuni, as well as surrounding settlements also faced attacks, but there were no casualties or injuries among the civilian population; however, significant material damage was caused to the communities.
