Video shared by Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry is said to "confirm the launch of rockets from the territory of Armenia." "On October 5 in the morning, the technical means of the radar systems of the Air Defense Forces of Azerbaijan recorded the launch of rockets fired at Azerbaijan from the starting positions in the Jermuk, Gafan and Berd regions of Armenia," according to a statement from the ministry. "Such irresponsible and criminal actions of Armenia purposefully force Azerbaijan to retaliate," the statement read. Meanwhile, the defense ministry also announced that they liberated the occupied Talish village from Armenia. On Sunday, Armenian forces launched a missile attack on the Khizi and Absheron regions. Relations between the two former Soviet republics have been tense since 1991, when the Armenian military occupied Upper Karabakh, an internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan. New clashes erupted on Sept. 27 but international calls for a halt to the fighting have gone unanswered. Armenia has continued its attacks on civilians and Azerbaijani forces, who are the rightful owners of the occupied region. The OSCE Minsk Group was formed in 1992 to find a peaceful solution to the conflict, but to no avail. A cease-fire was agreed upon in 1994.
