More than 200 people were injured as a result of the explosion in Stepanakert. This is reported by TASS, referring to the 24News portal.
The data was confirmed by the ombudsman of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Gegam Stepanyan reported that the state of health of most injured are seriously or extremely seriously injured. Medical facilities are not enough to save people’s lives. Medical aviation must land very urgently to save people’s lives. Very urgent, without delay,” he stressed.
Armenia welcomes thousands of refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh
200 demonstrators were arrested at a protest against Pashinyan
We remind you that, meanwhile, Armenia is accepting thousands of refugees from Nagorno-Karabakh, and hundreds of participants in a protest against Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan were arrested in the capital, Yerevan.
Earlier on Monday, the spokesman for US State Department Matthew Miller said Monday that Washington is working on establishing an international missionto monitor compliance by Azerbaijan of his responsibilities to protect the rights and security of residents of Nagorno-Karabakh.
The spokesperson stressed that the escalation of tension in the disputed region demonstrated Moscow’s weakness as a “security partner” in the world, adding that the goal remains for Yerevan and Baku to reach a lasting agreement for a ceasefire.
Last week, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan emphasized that the failure of Russian peacekeeping forces in Nagorno-Karabakh should not be ignored. Armenian Prime Minister and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev will reportedly meet next month to discuss recent developments in the region.

Expectedly, Russia reacted angrily to the American intervention in conflict resolution.
Nagorno-Karabakh is a territory internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but remained outside Baku’s control after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Border conflicts in the region between the two countries are not uncommon.
At the last one, the Armenians were forced to declare a ceasefire on 20 September after a lightning 24-hour military operation by the much larger Azerbaijani army.
Azerbaijan indicated that will guarantee the rights of ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh and will integrate the region. However, ethnic Armenians preferred to leave and return to Armenia.
The departure of the Armenians can thus alter the delicate balance of power in the South Caucasus region, an ethnically diverse region where Russia, the United States, Turkey and Iran are jostling for influence.
