STEPANAKERT. – The ceasefire violations by adversary have increased dramatically in recent times along the entire length of the Line of Contact between the Karabakh-Azerbaijani opposing forces.  

More intense firing of shots is recorded especially in the direction of the crash site of the Armenian helicopter which Azerbaijan shot down on November 12 on the eastern sector of the Line of Contact.

The Azerbaijani army, using different-caliber rifle weaponry, violated the ceasefire around 190 times on late Thursday night and early Friday morning in the aforesaid sector. In eight of these cases, the adversary also made use of grenades and several large-caliber weapons.  

The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Defense Army vanguard forces, however, have taken and are taking all necessary measures not to permit the adversary to approach the chopper’s crash site, the NKR MOD press service informed.

At present, the crash site and the entire frontline are under the constant supervision of the Armenian positions.
