A residential apartment block in Azerbaijan's city of Ganja was destroyed overnight in what officials say was an Armenian missile strike. Officials say seven people were killed and dozens injured.
More than 300 people have died and thousands been displaced since the latest violence in the long-running conflict broke out on 27 September.
Nagorno-Karabakh is officially part of Azerbaijan but was occupied by Armenians in years of 1992-1993.
Armenia was "blatantly violating the ceasefire regime" and firing into the Azeri regions of Terter, Agdam, Barda, Ganja and Beylagan.


They're still searching here by hand with dogs and they've brought in some heavy machinery, you can see the extent of the destruction and it's over a really wide area. Now, the buildings here are clearly residential. These were apartments where people were asleep in their beds when the attack happened at about 2:00 a.m. local time. 



We've seen mattresses and blankets strewn around in the rubble. A local explosives expert has said that the weapon used here was a long range rocket and he believed it came from Armenia rather than from Nagorno Karabakh. For now, that is unconfirmed. Well, this was clearly a very large scale attack and we've seen no sign of any kind of military targets in this area. 



Now, there are accusations from across the front line that Azerbaijan, too, has breached the truce. Officials in Nagorno Karabakh are claiming there has been shelling from this side towards rural districts. There is supposed to be a truce in place mediated by Russia. But when you look around here, it looks far more like all out war than cease fire.
