YEREVAN. – Sixteen incidents of ceasefire violations were recorded from late Wednesday night to early Thursday morning, at the northeastern sector—i.e. Tavush Province of Armenia—of the Armenia-Azerbaijan border.

The Ministry of Defense (MOD) of Armenia informed Armenian News-NEWS.am that during this time the Azerbaijani side mostly fired irregular shots at the Armenian position-holders, and by way of rifle and sniper weaponry.

“[But] vanguard units of the RA AF [i.e. Armed Forces], exercising restraint, took actions in response solely when absolutely necessary, and they confidently control the border situation,” the MOD statement reads.
