U.S.  European Command sends 40 tons of humanitarian aid to refugees  from Artsakh

ArmInfo. U.S. Defense Attach‚ Colonel Kevin Steele and representatives of the Embassy's Office of Defense Cooperation met on February 27 with Lori Governor Aram Ghazaryan to deliver over 40 tons of humanitarian assistance supplies for people displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh to Vanadzor and surrounding communities. 

According to the press service of the US Embassy in Armenia, the  items delivered included beds, mattresses, furniture, baby strollers,  and clothes funded through the United States European Command's  Humanitarian Assistance Program.

On  September 19, 2023, Azerbaijan, under the pretext of an   "anti-terrorist operation," undertook another act of aggression   against Artsakh. As a result of enemy aggression, hundreds of Artsakh   residents were injured, and more than 200 deaths were reported,  including civilians. On September 20, Artsakh fell.  Azerbaijan began   the forcible subjugation of the NKR. In addition, on September 20,   late in the evening it became known that Azerbaijan had deliberately   shot two vehicles of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, killing 6   people, including the deputy commander of the RPC. On September 22,   the process of abolishing the Artsakh Defense Army began. During   search operations from September 21 to 24, the NKR Ministry of   Internal Affairs discovered the bodies of 105 Artsakh residents,   including brutally murdered children and elderly people.  Today   Artsakh is completely de-Armenized; its entire indigenous population,   over 100 thousand people, was forced to flee to Armenia under the   threat of physical violence.  On September 25, near Stepanakert, an  explosion occurred at a fuel  warehouse, and a tank with gasoline  exploded. At the time of the  explosion, there were a large number of  people on site who were  queuing for gasoline to leave Artsakh amid  the latest Azerbaijani  aggression. According to the Investigative  Committee of Armenia 218 people were killed from an explosion at a  fuel warehouse, 215 of them  were identified.  At least 120 people  received injuries of varying  severity, mainly in the form of burns.  At the moment, according to  the investigation, the whereabouts of 21  people are unknown.  Since the enemy aggression that began in the  fall of 2020, which  ended in September of this year with the  complete ethnic cleansing of  Artsakh, over 150 thousand Artsakh  residents have become homeless.
