At least 200 killed in Azerbaijan's offensive in Karabakh -separatist official

At least 200 people have been killed in Karabakh as a result of an Azerbaijani military offensive and more than 400 have been wounded, a separatist Armenian human rights official in the breakaway region said on Wednesday.

Azerbaijan said earlier on Wednesday it had halted military action in Nagorno-Karabakh after its battlefield success forced Armenian separatist forces to agree to a ceasefire that will see the area fully return to Baku's control.
