YEREVAN. – The operational situation along Line of Contact between the Karabakh and Azerbaijani opposing forces remained the same from late Thursday night to early Friday morning.

The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Defense Army (NKR/Artsakh DA) informed Armenian News-NEWS.am that during this time the Azerbaijani armed forces continued violating the arrangement to cease fire, and primarily by using rifle weaponry plus mortars and a rocket-propelled grenade (hand-held antitank grenade launcher), toward some directions.

“[But] the DA vanguard units continue maintaining full control over the frontline, resorting, if needed, to actions consistent with the development of the situation,” the respective statement reads.
