Armenia and Azerbaijan have accused each other of new rounds of shelling on Wednesday morning as hostilities reignited between the two long-time adversaries.

The Armenian defence ministry has accused Azerbaijani forces of launching combat drones in the direction of the Armenian resort of Jermuk overnight and renewing the shelling from artillery and mortars in the morning in the direction of Jermuk and Verin Shorzha village, near the Sevan lake.
