The Azerbaijani military also shared several videos showing drone strikes and attacks with loitering munitions on Armenian military equipment in Nagorno-Karabakh.
While the two sides appear to be exaggerating their achievements, there is no doubt that they both suffered from serious losses in the last three days.
The conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, which began on September 27, will not likely stop soon. Both Azerbaijan and Armenia appear to be determined to continue the battle at all costs, at least for now.
