Azerbaijan continued to intensively violate the ceasefire on Thursday.

As a result, Armenian military serviceman Shekspir Hakobyan (born in 1990) sustained a fatal gunshot wound, at around 4:15pm, at a protection area of a Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Defense Army unit stationed in an easterly direction.

The sources of Armenian News-NEWS.am have informed that Hakobyan was killed on the line of duty. 

The adversary’s bullet had hit the soldier in the back. 

A criminal case will be filed on charges of murder by a motive of national, racial or religious hatred, or religious fanaticism.
