Nagorno-Karabakh: At least 125 killed in fuel depot explosion as thousands flee to Armenia

At least 125 people were killed and 300 injured in an explosion at a fuel depot in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, with the bodies of the victims transported to Armenia for identification and mourning. The death toll rose sharply after the Karabakh authorities reported 20 dead on Tuesday morning, indicating the severity of the incident.
The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan has led to a significant influx of refugees into Armenia, with more than 19,000 people crossing the border since Sunday. Many refugees, including Valentina Asryan and her grandchildren, have fled to safer areas in Armenia to escape the violence and gunfire. The stream of refugees continues to grow, with hundreds of vehicles heading from Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia.
The Armenian government has reported that a large number of ethnic Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh have already crossed into Armenia for safety and support, accounting for a significant portion of the population. As of Tuesday, more than 28,000 out of 120,000 ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh have sought shelter in Armenia. This exodus highlights the urgent need for aid and assistance for the displaced population.
