Fires continue to rage in occupied Artsakh, according to Azerbaijani media reports.

They claim that Azerbaijan's Ministry of Emergency Situations is taking “necessary and urgent measures to extinguish the fires.”

“Despite the fact that windy weather is creating serious obstacles to extinguishing the fires, the firefighting operation is continuing uninterrupted,” officials in Baku say.

 It should be recalled that forest fires have been raging in occupied Artsakh since July.
