Over 200 Azerbaijani troops killed in southern front alone, Artsrun Hovhannisyan says
"This morning, the Azerbaijani military first of all started intensely shelling the civilian settlements of Artsakh. We released the relevant videos,” Artsrun Hovhannisyan, the official representative of the Armenian Defense Ministry, told a briefing on Monday.
In his words, the Artsakh Defense Army gives a propitiation response to such Azerbaijani actions, only targeting the enemy’s military facilities and troops.
"All the accusations of the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan against the Armenian side are disinformation and are fully unsubstantiated. This morning, particularly in the southern direction, the adversary again attempted a massive attack, using a large number of forces. During the day, they even tried to fix their success once again by releasing videos of their presence in Armenian posts and other "evidence". They thus attempt to present their small and temporary successes as big victories,” the representative said.
“Employing competent tactical ticks, our troops succeeded in inflicting heavy losses on the enemy and pushing them back. Today, they had more than 200 casualties in the southern direction alone,” Artsrun Hovhannisyan said, promising to present the exact number of the killed Azerbaijani servicemen on Tuesday.
