Dozens of people are feared dead and hundreds more injured after a powerful explosion at a fuel storage depot in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, as thousands of ethnic Armenians streamed out of the breakaway territory after the Azerbaijani military reclaimed full control of it in a lightning offensive last week.
Local Armenian authorities said 20 people were confirmed to have died and 290 had been admitted to hospitals, dozens of them in critical condition, after the blast at the facility near the regional capital, Stepanakert, on Monday evening. The death toll is expected to rise significantly with more than 100 listed as missing.
