KARABAKH REPELS ANOTHER COMMANDO RAID: TWO AZERIS, ONE ARMENIAN REPORTED KILLED IN FRESH CLASHES

Karabakh | 28.05.14 | 12:00

Nagorno-Karabakh’s military stopped another reconnaissance-sabotage
group from infiltrating into the republic’s territory last night,
killing at least two Azeri commandoes and wounding one. The NKR
Ministry of Defense said one Armenian soldier, Erik Gasparyan, was
killed during the clashes.

According to the statement issued by the Ministry, the incident
happened in the southern direction of the Line of Contact at about
2.55 am on May 28.

“The Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army’s frontline units, timely spotting
the movement of the special detachment, took retaliatory actions,
inflicting considerable losses on the enemy, driving it to its former
positions,” the Defense Army press service said.

The NKR Defense Army extended condolences to the family and friends
of the killed Armenian soldier. Investigation is underway to establish
the details of the incident.

According to the report, the NKR military continues to control the
situation along the entire Line of Contact.

At least two Armenian servicemen, including a lieutenant-colonel,
have been killed and one wounded along the Line of Contact in
southern Karabakh since early last week. In the meantime, last week
the Karabakh military already reported one successful repulsion of
an Azeri reconnaissance-sabotage group’s infiltration attempt. It
said at least three Azeri commandos were wounded then.
