Long-range rocket systems and armed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been to the fore in the latest round of conflict that broke out on 27 September, with both sides striking targets behind the immediate combat zone.

Since 1 October Azerbaijani forces have been regularly attacking Stepanakert, the main city of Nagorno-Karabakh, with BM-30 Smerch rockets, which have a range of some 90 km, and armed UAVs, according to news reports from the city. Imagery from the city showed the remains of several BM-30 rockets embedded into civilian buildings and residential streets.

In retaliation, Armenian forces fired BM-30 rockets towards the Azerbaijani airfield at Ganja. Video footage was posted online showing large rockets hitting the city of Ganja on 5 October and still imagery emerged showing the remains of several BM-30 rockets embedded in the ground around the city on 4 October.
