Three years passes since Armenia's missile terror in Azerbaijan’s Gandja city Caliber.Az on YouTube

Three years passed today since the fifth missile attack by the Armenian military on Azerbaijan’s second-largest Gandja city on October 17, 2020.

At least 13 civilians were killed and 52 others wounded as a result of the assault that took place during the 44-day war between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev called the attack on the city, located far from the battlefields, a “war crime”.

Previously, on October 11, 2020, Armenia’s forces launched an Elbrus tactical ballistic missile on Gandja, which is more than 60 km away from the conflict zone, destroying two residential buildings to kill 10 and wound 34 civilians. 

On October 4, 5, 8, and 11, Gandja was targeted in more consecutive missile strikes by the Armenian military using R-17 Elbrus, designated as SS-1C Scud-B by NATO, a Russian-made short-range ballistic rocket with a range of up to 300 kilometres. It is able to carry 985 kilograms of conventional and 5-80 kilotons of nuclear warheads.
