U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that the deadliest fighting in years between Armenia and Azerbaijan risks “disastrous” consequences as local clashes overshadowed her visit to the region.
An Armenian soldier was killed early today and two wounded during an exchange of fire with Azeri troops, which attacked along the militarized cease-fire line in Nagorno-Karabakh, the disputed region’s defense forces said in a statement on their website today. That brought the three-day death toll between the two former Soviet republics to nine.
