At least 20 people have been killed and nearly 300 injured in an explosion at a Gas Station in Nagorno-Karabakh, as thousands of ethnic Armenians flee into neighboring Armenia. Around 28,000 people, about 23% of the region's population, have fled across the border since Azerbaijan's military operation last week. The explosion occurred as residents lined up to fill their cars at a gas station outside the region's capital. The cause of the blast is still unclear, but initial information suggests it resulted from negligence rather than sabotage. The US has called for humanitarian access to Nagorno-Karabakh.
