The fighting between Azerbaijan and the Armenian forces in the Nagorno-Karabakh enclave expanded today (Sunday), with the start of the second week of the war in the Caucasus.
Ganja, the second largest city in Azerbaijan, was bombed, and the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh in the dark after extensive attacks.
The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said that the Janja, north of Langorno-Krabach, had been attacked by rockets from Armenian territory, and Baku had warned that military sites deep in Armenian territory would be attacked in response.
Azerbaijan said one civilian was killed in an attack on the city, north of Nagorno-Karabakh and home to 335,000 people.
Documents from the city show damage caused to several buildings.
Azeri Defense Minister Zachary Hassanov said it was a "clear provocation" intended to widen the conflict.
Armenia has denied that its forces are responsible for the attack, but the Nagorno-Karabakh authorities, controlled by separatist Armenians, said they had destroyed the military airport in Ganja, which they claimed was used to attack Armenian civilians.

The enclave, located in Azerbaijan territory and not recognized by any country in the world, said the attack was in response to rocket fire at the region's capital, Stefankart.
The official Armenian news agency reported many casualties in the city, which was left without electricity.
The region's leader, Eric Rotionian, warned that "from now on, military sites deployed in the major city of Azerbaijan are a legitimate target."
The situation on the ground cannot be independently verified.
The Azerbaijani army said its forces had recaptured seven villages since Sunday, while Nagorno-Karabakh said its forces had "improved" their positions at the front.
Fighting in the mountainous enclave is the worst since the 1990s, when some 30,000 people were killed in a war that erupted with the collapse of the Soviet Union - Armenia and Azerbaijan were two Soviet republics.
The number waiting in the current round has risen to at least 230.

The war is causing international concern for stability in the South Caucasus, where oil and gas pipelines pass from Azerbaijan to world markets, and it threatens to drag Russia, which has a military base in Armenia but also good relations with Azerbaijan, and Turkey, Azerbaijan's central ally. Into the cauldron.
While Russia, the United States and France have called for an end to hostilities, Turkey has said Armenian "occupiers" must withdraw from the territory and reject "superficial" demands for a ceasefire.
Ankara today condemned Yarban after the citizens' allegations of its attacks against it.
Armenian Prime Minister Nicole Pashinian has warned in recent days that Turkey is planning a "new genocide" against the Armenian people.
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has stated that fighting will cease only until the withdrawal of Armenian separatists.
Hundreds of people took to the streets of the capital Baku yesterday to celebrate the news of progress on the ground, waving flags and signs that read "Carbach was and will be ours."

Apart from a four-day war in 2016, in which some 200 people were killed, there has been a lull in the region in the last quarter of a century, with Russia playing a balancing role as an ally of Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Now, however, Azerbaijan, backed by Turkish backing, declares that its patience has run out after decades of ineffective diplomacy.
Regional and military experts say the Azeris do not have enough firepower to recapture the entire enclave, but they may settle for territorial gains that will allow them to declare victory and achieve leverage in future negotiations.
