Four years have passed since Ganja, Azerbaijan's second largest city, was once again subjected to rocket attacks by the Armenian Armed Forces during the Patriotic War.

Axar.az reports that around 2:00 AM on October 11, 2020, the city's center was hit by a ballistic missile attack from the enemy. Despite the implementation of a humanitarian ceasefire regime starting on October 10, the Armenian army continued to intensively shell Azerbaijani residential areas. In Ganja, civilians were targeted once more. As a result of the missile strikes on multi-storey residential buildings, 9 people were killed, including 4 women, and 35 others were injured. One of the injured later died in the hospital.

In addition, more than 10 multi-storey buildings and over 100 various facilities were damaged. A criminal case has been initiated at the Prosecutor General's Office of Azerbaijan regarding the shelling of Ganja city under the relevant articles of the Criminal Code. The moment of the rocket attack on Ganja was captured by a surveillance camera of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

It is noted that during the Second Karabakh War, Ganja was attacked five times (on October 4, 5, 8, 11, and 17) by the Armenian Armed Forces using rockets and heavy artillery. As a result, 26 people were killed, and 175 were injured, with significant damage inflicted on civilian infrastructure and vehicles in the city.

It is worth mentioning that during the Second Karabakh War, a total of 93 civilians, including 12 children and 27 women, lost their lives due to Armenia's military aggression. Additionally, 454 civilians were injured, and extensive damage was reported to 12,292 residential and non-residential properties, 288 vehicles, and 1,018 farms.
