Capital Stepanakert and other cities undergo 'intensive shelling'

Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, and other towns in the region are being targeted by "intensive shelling" shortly after Azerbaijan launched "counter-terrorism" operations, according to Armenian separatist authorities on Tuesday. 

The separatist representation in Armenia posted on Facebook, "Azerbaijan has initiated a large-scale military operation against the Republic of Artsakh (the Armenian name for Nagorno-Karabakh)."
