The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan has reported 2,783 servicemen killed during the recent Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) war.

The ministry added that the identity 103 Azerbaijani soldiers was been confirmed through DNA tests, more than 100 servicemen were considered missing and steps were being taken to determine their whereabouts and return them to their families, and 1,245 wounded servicemen were being treated at medical facilities across Azerbaijan.

On November 9, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a joint statement on a complete cessation of hostilities— which Azerbaijan had launched on September 27—in and around Artsakh. Accordingly, Russian peacekeepers are deployed in the region to monitor the implementation of the ceasefire and the cessation of hostilities. But this statement also stipulates the handover of part of Artsakh lands to Azerbaijan.
