STEPANAKERT. – The relative calm situation along line of contact between the Karabakh and Azerbaijani opposing forces was maintained, from late Wednesday night to early Thursday morning.

The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Defense Army (NKR/Artsakh DA) informed Armenian News-NEWS.am that during this time, however, the Azerbaijani armed forces violated the ceasefire agreement primarily by way of rifle weaponry, but they also used machine guns and sniper rifles in some directions.

“[But] the DA vanguard units maintain full control over the frontline, and continue confidently carrying out [their] military service,” the respective statement reads.
