Artsakh forces thwart new Azerbaijani attack attempt in southeastern direction
Reconnoitering and fire engagement operations were ongoing overnight in the deployed locations of the Azerbaijani forces, as a result of which a large quantity of enemy military equipment and manpower was destroyed, the Artsakh Defense Ministry said in a statement on Friday.
“After midnight, the enemy forces tried to launch a new attack in the southeastern direction, which was thwarted by the army units. The enemy forces also attempted to gain success in the northern part of the frontline, and these attempts were also thwarted, with the enemy forces incurring heavy losses here as well,” the statement said.
The Azerbaijani forces continued bombing the residential areas of the towns and cities of Artsakh overnight. “Search and destroy operations against the hostile groups are underway,” the ministry added.
