One of the witnesses, Ingilab Mammadov, described how his two-story house collapsed on October 4, 2020, following a rocket strike. He and his three young children were trapped under the debris and sustained injuries. Mammadov stressed that there were no military installations in the area, later learning that the attack was carried out with a Smerch missile fired by Armenian forces.
Another witness, Elchin Bagirov, testified that a missile exploded near his residence the same day, injuring him, his mother Nabat Bagirova, and his uncle. As a result of his injuries, Bagirov’s uncle lost his ability to work.
