No major incidents reported on Armenian-Azerbaijani border
No significant incidents were recorded on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border as of 11am Thursday, the Armenian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Earlier on Wednesday, the ministry said that fighting almost stopped in all border sections at 8pm local time.
In his televised remarks shortly after midnight, Secretary of Armenia’s Security Council Armen Grigoryan announced that Yerevan and Baku had agreed a ceasefire brokered by the international community.
“Let’s hope that Azerbaijan will continue to respect the ceasefire,” he told the Public TV Company.
Azerbaijani forces began a massive attack against Armenia just after midnight on Tuesday, using combat drones, artillery and large-caliber firearms to shell both Armenian military positions and civilian infrastructure.
105 Armenian troops were killed in Azerbaijani attacks in two days.
