The Armenian side has disseminated a video footage claiming that the
Azerbaijani armed forces are shelling positions of their own military
units, said Azerbaijani defense ministry.

The ministry said the Armenian side that was defeated on the
battlefield is making unsuccessful attempts to avenge in the virtual
space.

“According to the combat readiness plan, the Azerbaijani military
units on the frontline are currently conducting live-fire exercises in
various directions of the frontline, including Tartar-Aghdara
direction. The explosions reflected in the video was caused by hand
grenades, but not by 60-mm mortars as the Armenians claimed. Even
non-specialists knowing a little about weapons can easily comprehend
that these explosions were not caused by mortars,” said the ministry.
