Situation on Armenian-Azerbaijani border remains unchanged
The situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border remained unchanged as of Saturday morning, the Armenian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
“No change in the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border has been recorded as of 9am September 17,” the statement said.
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.
135 Armenian troops were killed in Azerbaijani attacks in two days.
The Defense Ministry said late on Wednesday that the hostilities stopped at 8pm local time. Secretary of Armenia’s Security Council Armen Grigoryan announced shortly after midnight that Yerevan and Baku had agreed a ceasefire brokered by the international community.
