Azerbaijan violated the ceasefire about 220 times along the Line of Contact with Karabakh troops on January 19 and overnight to January 20. Over 2,000 shots from guns of various calibers were fired at Karabakh frontline positions, the press service of the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Ministry said.

Also, Azerbaijan made 8 cross-border infiltration attempts in various sections of the Line of Contact. The frontline units of the NKR Defense Army reacted in time, and threw the enemy back to their initial positions. The Azerbaijani side suffered losses.

A Karabakh soldier, Suren Pilosyan, 19, died of a gunshot wound after being shot by Azerbaijani forces at a frontline position of a military unit in the southern direction of the Line of Contact.

An investigation is underway.

The NKR Defense Ministry shares the grief of the loss and extends sympathy to Suren Pilosyan’s family, relatives, and fellow servicemen.
