STEPANAKERT. – No changes in the operational situation were recorded along the Line of Contact between the Karabakh and Azerbaijani opposing forces, from late Monday night to early Tuesday morning.

The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR/Artsakh) Defense Army informed Armenian News-NEWS.am that during this time the adversary violated the verbal agreement to cease fire more than 80 times along the entire frontline, and by way of rifle weaponry.

Also, the Azerbaijani armed forces fired shots from a grenade launcher, in a southeasterly (NKR Hadrut Region) direction of the Line of Contact.

“[But] vanguard units of the [NKR] DA [i.e. Defense Army] mostly remained committed to the verbal agreement to cease fire, and took necessary steps to reliably organize the protection of the military positions along the entire frontline,” the respective statement reads.
