STEPANAKERT. – The adversary violated the ceasefire on the Line of Contact between the Karabakh-Azerbaijani opposing forces around 2,200 times, from January 25 to 31.

During this time, more than 40,000 shots were fired in the direction of Armenian military positions, and by way of rifle weaponry, mine throwers and grenade launchers, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Defense Army reported.

In the same period, the adversary also launched sabotage infiltration attempts which, however, the Armenian position-holders detected on time and drew back. As a result of the retaliatory actions by the Defense Army vanguard divisions, the adversary suffered at least three casualties and had wounded. The Defense Army, on the other hand, suffered no casualties.

In addition, Azerbaijan resorted to a cheap propaganda trick, to conceal its military casualties and form a triumphant mood among the Azerbaijani society, by alleging that it had shot down an Armenian drone in the direction of Akn. But in reality, the relevant Defense Army bodies have revealed that the Azerbaijani army had downed its own drone.

The NKR Defense Army vanguard units controlled the tactical operational situation on the frontlines, and confidently carried out their military watch all through the week.
