Azerbaijan and Armenian forces reach cease-fire deal for breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh, officials say
- Ethnic Armenians in Azerbaijan's breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh agreed to a Russian proposal for a ceasefire, following an offensive by Azerbaijan that resulted in dozens of casualties and hundreds of injuries.
- The self-proclaimed "Republic of Artsakh" reluctantly halted hostilities, acknowledging the dire circumstances. Azerbaijan confirmed the ceasefire agreement, which was facilitated by Russian peacekeepers, after launching the offensive due to attacks on its troops and demands for the separatist authorities in Karabakh to disband.

The recent escalation raises concerns about destabilizing the South Caucasus, where influential countries such as the US, Russia, Turkey, and Iran are vying for power.
