Armenia and Azerbaijan are accusing each of violating ceasefire in the conflict that has erupted over the region of Nagorno-Karabach.
Fresh explosions rocked the capital of the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region on Saturday despite the ceasefire.
Armenia and Azerbaijan had agreed to a ceasefire after Russia mediated talks in Moscow. The talks in Moscow was first diplomatic contact between both sides since the hostilities erupted.
When the ceasefire collapsed, Armenian defence ministry accused Azerbaijan of shelling a settlement inside Armenia, while ethnic Armenian forces in Karabakh alleged that Azeri forces had launched a new offensive five minutes after the truce took hold and killed two civilians.
