Four of the military servicemen who were wounded in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) as a result of shelling by Azerbaijan on September 25, and who are receiving treatment at the military hospital in Martakert town in the NKR, have minor injuries, the hospital told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

They informed that these soldiers will be discharged from the hospital most likely in a few days.

“They are all up on their feet, they are in good condition, [and] there is nothing dangerous,” added the military hospital representatives.

Another five of the sixteen wounded military servicemen are receiving treatment at the Ministry of Defense Central Clinical Military Hospital in Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia. They are in critical but stable.

As reported earlier, the Azerbaijani Armed Forces shelled one of the northeastern protection areas of the NKR Defense Army unit, on September 25 at about 5:30pm. The fire was opened from Turkish-made reactive rocket propelled howitzers (TR-107).

Consequently, NKR Defense Army soldiers Norayr Khachatryan (born in 1995), Robert Mkrtchyan (born in 1995), Harut Hakobyan (born in 1997), and Karen Shahinyan (born in 1997) died from shrapnel wounds. In addition, there are sixteen wounded military servicemen.

And NKR President Bako Sahakyan signed decrees, whereby the fallen soldiers were posthumously awarded with the Medal for Military Service.
