The region is internationally recognised as part of azerbaijan, but large parts of it have been controlled by Ethnic Armenians for three decades. Tens of thousands of armenians have sought refuge in the main city, stepanakert, many of them gathering at the airport.

It has managed to hit the headquarters of russias Black Sea Fleet in the Crimean Peninsula with a missile. We know there is damage to the building. We are not sure how much. One ukrainian spokesman has said on social media, we wanted a bigger hole. But undoubtedly, ukraine could hardly have picked a more symbolic target. Its a headline grabbing attack, it is a showy attack. It is not the first time that ukraine has struck at Russian Military and the structure in premier.

Continued occupation in a place that seems a cornerstone of its invasion from as far back as 2014.
