Ganja, with a population of approximately 330,000, is Azerbaijan’s second largest city, one hundred kilometers from Nagorno-Karabakh.

According to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, at least nine people were killed and others injured in a rocket attack by Armenian forces on a residential area of the city. Although Armenia has denied reports of violations, the houses and streets covered with shattered glass are denied by Azerbaijan.
