What happened

During the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, Azerbaijani authorities said a cluster rocket landed approximately 10 metres from the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan crude pipeline in the Yevlakh area and dispersed more than 300 submunitions. Azerbaijan attributed the strike to Armenian forces and reported one civilian death associated with the munition attack. BP, which operates BTC, said it was deeply concerned by the reported targeting but confirmed that the pipeline was undamaged and oil flows continued normally. Because the attribution and casualty account originated with Azerbaijani authorities amid an active war, this record labels them as reported claims rather than independently established facts. It is included as a fatal attack immediately beside strategic energy infrastructure, not as physical pipeline damage.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
