A group of Armenians gathered at the Azerbaijani Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, to protest Azerbaijan’s operation against armed Armenian groups in Karabakh. The protest turned violent as the demonstrators threw fireworks and Molotov cocktails at the embassy and security forces. Lebanese police responded with tear gas and water cannons, leading to clashes between the protesters and law enforcement. The incident also resulted in a fire around the embassy, which was extinguished by emergency teams.
The Azerbaijani anti-terrorism operation in Karabakh had ended approximately 24 hours after it began, leading to Armenians voluntarily returning to Armenia.
