Search and rescue teams of Artsakh’s State Service of Emergency Situations found no casualties of the 2020 war or missing soldiers during their operations in former combat zones in southern regions on Thursday.

However, according to preliminary data, the remains of two fallen servicemen were handed over to the service at the assembly point of a military unit in Martakert region. The bodies are yet to be identified through a forensic DNA analysis, the State Service of Emergency Situations said.

Two days ago, the body of another soldier was transferred from the same place.

During the recent war, the area came under Azerbaijani missile attack.

The search continues in Hadrut and Varanda (Fizuli) regions today.

Since the start of the ceasefire, a total of 1,488 bodies of fallen troops and civilians have been found during the search operations.
