Defense Ministry: Border situation remains tense
The violations of the ceasefire regime at Armenian-Azerbaijani border have declined slightly as compared to the previous two days, Armenian Defense Ministry spokesman Artsrun Hovhannisyan told Panorama.am.
Meanwhile, the spokesman said that the border situation remains tense.
On the night of January 20, Azeri units tried to infiltrate Armenian positions in northeastern (Jraberd) and southeastern (Korgan) sections of the contact line of Karabakh and Azeri troops. The frontline units of the NKR Defense Army fought back the incursion in both directions and threw back the enemy, causing considerable material and human losses. Junior sergeant Armen Hovhannisyan was killed by Azeri fire while performing his military duty at the northeastern military position. An investigation is being carried out.
