Azerbaijan's Health Ministry announced that 192 Azerbaijani troops lost their lives, with more than 500 sustaining injuries during a week-long operation in Nagorno-Karabakh.

This military operation marks a significant turning point as it has enabled Azerbaijan to fully reclaim control over the breakaway region, which had been under separatist rule for nearly three decades.

The operation prompted a mass exodus of thousands of ethnic Armenians from the region following the decision of separatist troops to lay down their arms.

Despite two rounds of talks between Azerbaijan and separatist officials, the status of Nagorno-Karabakh remains shrouded in uncertainty.

This development is a crucial one in the long-standing conflict, with regional implications yet to fully unfold. (ILKHA)
