On November 8 morning, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced that Azerbaijani forces have captured the strategic town of Shusha from the Armenians in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
The Armenian military denied the claim of the Azerbaijani leader. However, according to pro-Armenian sources, intense clashes have been ongoing in the area.
The November 7 video shows Armenian troops defending the town of Shusha from Azerbaijani forces. It was filmed northeast of the town highlighting the complicated military situation there. The capital of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, Stepanakert, is located just north of Shusha.
