Defense ministry denies Azerbaijani claims about missile strikes from Armenia's territory
The Armenian Ministry of Defense denied on Friday allegations made by Azerbaijani officials that a Tochka-U tactical missile was fired into Azerbaijani territory from Armenia 'as nothing more than a fabrication.'
In a released statement, the ministry said that no missile has been fired from Armenia into Azerbaijan, despite the fact that the settlements around the Armenian town of Vardenis have been under fire from Azerbaijani artillery and airstrikes for several days now.
"The Ministry of Defense strongly urges the Azerbaijani authorities to refrain from making provocative statements and to not aggravate the situation further into receiving an actual missile retaliation with all consequences," the statement added.
