Surveillance camera footage has been released, allegedly showing the moment an airstrike hit the Azerbaijani city of Ganja in the early hours of Sunday, killing 9 civilians and wounding 30.

Azerbaijan has accused Armenia of attacking its cities and villages in violation of a cease-fire brokered by Russia to end to the worst outbreak of hostilities in the separatist Nagorno-Karabakh region.

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev called the attack on Ganja "a war crime" and a "gross" violation of the cease-fire on Twitter, promising "a befitting retaliation."

Nagorno-Karabakh's military officials denied attacking Ganja and said the territory's army is observing the cease-fire. They added that during the night Azerbaijani forces shelled Stepanakert, the region's capital, and other towns in violation of the truce

The latest fighting between Azerbaijani and Armenian forces began September 27 and marked the biggest escalation since the 1990s.

Nagorno-Karabakh lies within Azerbaijan but has been under the control of ethnic Armenian forces backed by the Armenian government since 1994 at the end of a separatist war following the breakup of the Soviet Union three years earlier.
