Flights by Azerbaijani air forces over the section of the Line of Contact between Azerbaijani and Karabakh forces have become common in the recent period and are carried out for both training and reconnaissance purposes, the Defense Army of the Artsakh Republic reported on Tuesday.

“It is noteworthy that Azerbaijani activities involve not only military jets and helicopters but also UAEs which often try to infiltrate into the airspace of the Artsakh Republic on reconnaissance missions. An attempt of such activity took place today, on April 21. Air -defense units located in southern direction of the Defense Army detected the Orbiter drone entering the Artsakh airspace and shot down at around 13.07 as result of well-coordinated actions,” the statement added.

The Defense Army urges the Azerbaijani side to refrain from provocative actions and reminds that any offensive will be duly prevented. The Ministry also promised to publish the wreckage of the drone later.
