Armenia and Azerbaijan agree on ceasefire

It will take effect from midnight

Newsroom October 17 10:50

The move came after Azerbaijan said 13 civilians were killed in an Armenian missile attack on its second-biggest city, Ganja. The overnight missile raid also wounded dozens of people in their sleep and destroyed a row of homes.
