TL;DR Summary

An explosion at a fuel depot in Nagorno-Karabakh has killed 20 people and injured hundreds, as the number of refugees crossing into Armenia from the enclave doubles. Nearly 300 people have been admitted to hospitals, with dozens in critical condition. The cause of the explosion in the main city of Stepanakert is still unknown. Since Azerbaijan's seizure of Nagorno-Karabakh, thousands of people have fled the area, and Armenia's Prime Minister has accused Azerbaijan of ethnic cleansing. Envoys from Armenia and Azerbaijan are set to meet in Brussels for talks, the first since Azerbaijan took control of the region.
