Azerbaijan keeps violating the ceasefire: No casualties reported on the Armenian side

The Azerbaijani side kept violating the ceasefire regime in almost all directions of the line of contact with the Karabakh forces last night.

More intensive firing was reported in the eastern direction of the frontline, where the Azeri side used firearms of different calibers, 60 and 82 mm mine throwers  and an automatic grenade launcher.

All in all, the rival violated the ceasefire 125 times, firing over 2,000 shots in the direction of the Armenian positions.

The Armenian side incurred no losses as a result of ceasefire violation, the NKR Defense Ministry said.

The Ministry also refuted the claims of the Azerbaijani side that “one was killed, nine wounded as a result of heavy fighting in the eastern direction of the line of contact” and said “it’s yet another misinformation.”

The Front troops of the NKR Defense Army confidently continue with their military duty and resort to response actions if necessary.

The situation has been calm this morning.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
