"Mass Exodus from Karabakh to Armenia Amid Rising Death Toll from Fuel Depot Blast"

Thousands of Armenians are fleeing the defeated breakaway enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh, with more than 28,000 already crossing into Armenia. Their departure has been marred by an explosion at a fuel depot that killed dozens and injured over 100. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has announced $11.5 million in humanitarian assistance, urging continued access to Nagorno-Karabakh for those in need. Azerbaijan launched a lightning operation to take over Karabakh, and while a top Azeri official stated they have no intention of creating a land corridor through Armenia, there are concerns about the safety and rights of ethnic Armenians in the region.
