The situation was relatively calm on Karabakh-Azerbaijan border last night and there was no incident, Nagorno-Karabakh presidential spokesman David Babayan told Panorama.am.  

“There is always shooting – this is the enemy’s style,” Babayan said, adding that there has been no other incident. 

At around 8:30 am on Thursday, an Azerbaijani special detachment launched an attack against Nagorno-Karabakh military positions located in the northern direction (Gyulistan). As a result of the military operation, which lasted for about two hours, the Armenian frontier troops and assisting forces made the enemy flee. The Armenian forces pursued the enemy, and completely destroyed the enemy’s detachment. Regrettably, three servicemen of Karabakh Defense Army, Hakob Khachatryan (born in 1996), Eduard Hayrapetyan (born in 1995) and Arshak Harutyunyan (born in 1995), were killed while repelling the enemy attack. Another four servicemen were wounded.
