YEREVAN, JUNE 16, ARMENPRESS. Caucasus Heritage Watch (CHW) has released satellite images showing that a bridge in Nagorno Karabakh dating back to 1835 in an area under Azeri control since 2020 has been destroyed.

CHW said the bridge was destroyed during roadwork.

“We have been concerned about this bridge since last summer. It was clearly visible in an Oct. 2021 satellite image. But the bridge was no longer discernable by July 2022. In CHW’s monitoring report #4, we provisionally designated it as damaged. April 2023 imagery now shows that the bridge was destroyed during roadwork,” CHW reported.

Halevor Bridge, built in 1835, spanned the Ishkhanaget River, 2km southwest of Mets Tagher in Nagorno Karabakh.
