Footage of incident near Shushi emerges online
A video of the incident between the Armenian and Azerbaijani sides near the Azerbaijani-occupied Artsakh town of Shushi has emerged online.
The footage released on a Telegram channel shows a man approaching the Azeri checkpoint on the Stepanakert-Berdzor road and throwing an explosive device near it. The man appears to have been held by Russian peacekeepers.
It was reported earlier that the Stepanakert-Shushi-Berdzor interstate road was shut down. Later, the Artsakh Interior Ministry said that the road was already open to traffic on both sides and details of the incident would be provided soon.
According to rumors, the incident is connected with the murder of a young man from Artsakh by an Azerbaijani a few days ago near Shushi. One of the relatives of the killed 22-year-old man reportedly tried to take revenge on the Azerbaijanis. He drove up to the Azerbaijani soldiers and threw a grenade towards them. The latter opened fire in his direction.
There are no immediate reports of casualties.
