The Artsakh Human Rights Defender reports that Azerbaijani forces applied Smerch multiple rocket launcher with cluster missiles on residential areas of Nngi village in Martuni region. The area served as a refuge for many civilians, including temporarily displaced from a number of other communities, the source said.

As a result of the strike, three women were wounded, one house was completely destroyed, other houses and infrastructure of the community were also damaged to varying degrees.

"Considering that there are no military objects near the community, as well as a prohibited wide-range cluster missile was used in a densely populated area, it is clear that the Azerbaijani armed forces had criminal intent to target the civilian population and objects," the Human Rights Defender said,
calling on the international community and human rights organizations to take immediate steps to properly respond to and stop the Azerbaijani atrocities against the people of Artsakh.
