Azerbaijani authorities disclosed for the first time Thursday details of the country's military casualties from recent fighting with Armenian forces over the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabakh, a 44-day conflict that a Russia-brokered truce halted last month.
Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry said 2,783 troops were killed during the intense clashes, and 103 of them are yet to be identified. More than 100 servicemen are considered to be unaccounted for, the ministry said, and 1,245 are currently undergoing treatment in medical facilities.
