"If those were missile fires, the local authorities should have been warned of possible second or third strikes, had to remove the civilian population from the scene for some time. However, there was an unjustified confidence there would be no more strikes," the ministry said.

According to the Armenian side, moments after the explosion, Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the Azerbaijani president was quick enough to claim that the strike was carried out from the territory of Armenia and that was a Skud missile, providing no evidence, while determining the type of the missile requires longer investigation.
