Civilians in Hadrut - the de facto administrative centre of Artsakh - have been subject to martial law as the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict rages and litters the town with shelling.

Footage shows a tour of the dilapidated town that has numerous buildings wrecked by artillery fire, with one building having an unexploded shell lodged in the wall.

In one interview a man is heard explaining: "Everyone knows that it's already the 10th day, the Azerbaijanis have launched an offensive.

"They don't attack on the front line, they first of all bomb all villages and cities, people are dying.

"Small children die, but they do not stop.

"I know that our people will win, everyone knows that, but for us, for Armenians, this is the last war." He continues to explain that women have been killed and children injured.

One man who helped residents who were in a house that was on the receiving end of shelling said: "Thank God, they weren't hurt.

"We transferred them to a different, more secure room.

"Traces from shards hit directly into the store.

"Also, as we can see, a civilian object.

"The blast wave knocked out all the windows.

"Judging by the crater, it was artillery."
