The situation along the line of contact between Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) and Azerbaijan, including the eastern section, was relatively stable from Sunday evening to Monday afternoon, the Artsakh Information Center said in a statement.

“No major ceasefire violations have been registered. The village of Parukh in the Askeran region is now under the control of the Russian peacekeeping troops,” it said.

The Information Center stressed due to the “courageous efforts” of the Artsakh military, the Armenian side managed to thwart the advance of the Azerbaijani army units and to maintain control over the main part of Karaglukh height near Parukh.

“The Azerbaijani troops remain in fortified positions on one slope of Karaglukh. Works with the command staff of the Russian peacekeeping contingent to make the Azerbaijani units withdraw to their starting positions are underway,” reads the statement.
