NKR Defense Army: Azerbaijani death toll rises
The situation remained tense along the Line of Contact between the armed forces of Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan on the night of August 2 to 3, the NKR Defense Army reported on Sunday.
According to the source, the situation was particularly tense on the border near Askeran where Armenian forces repelled a subversive-reconnaissance attack of Azerbaijani troops, throwing them back to the previous position and leaving at least one soldier dead.
“Fighting continued throughout the night. The enemy managed to remove the body of the dead soldier from the neutral zone. According to information received by the NKR Defense Army, the Azerbaijani army suffered further losses as a result of that operation,” the NKR Defense Army said.
