STEPANAKERT. – The situation along the Line of Contact between the Karabakh-Azerbaijani opposing forces was tense over the weekend. 

Press service of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Ministry of Defense (NKR MOD) informed Armenian News-NEWS.am that during this time the Azerbaijani armed forces fired more than 2,400 shots at the Armenian military positions, and by way of rifle weaponry and mortars.

The adversary, however, blamed the Armenian side in the escalation of tension. 

NKR MOD, on the other hand, yet again reaffirms its commitment to strictly abide by the agreements reached toward not destabilizing the situation, but at the same time, it stands ready to prevent any provocative action by the Azerbaijani side.
