Azerbaijan's launch of reportedly intense artillery firing in the Nagorno-Karabakh region raised fears that another full-scale conflict with Armenia could be underway.
Azerbaijan's launch of reportedly intense artillery firing in the Nagorno-Karabakh region on Tuesday raised fears that another full-scale conflict with Armenia could be underway, less than three years after a war that killed more than 6,000 people.

Nagorno-Karabakh officials had previously resisted aid coming by the latter road, saying it was a strategy for Azerbaijan to absorb the region.
