"These actions are worsening an already dire humanitarian situation in Nagorno-Karabakh and undermine prospects for peace," Blinken noted.
He went on to add, "As we have previously made clear to Azerbaijan, the use of force to resolve disputes is unacceptable and runs counter to efforts to create conditions for a just and dignified peace in the region."
