The Azerbaijani side has indirectly confirmed its unsuccessful attempt to sabotage at the line of contact with the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR/Artsakh) armed forces.

Azerbaijani army officer Togrul Mammadov died as a result of a landmine explosion, Haqqin.az news agency of Azerbaijan reported citing the informed sources of the Azerbaijan Ministry of Defense.

The incident occurred on Thursday, in the direction of Aghdam.

As reported earlier, a group of Azerbaijani soldiers attempted to advance, on Thursday at around 10:45pm, in an easterly (Akn) direction of the line of contact.

But the NKR Defense Army vanguard units undertook operative measures, and prevented the possible actions by the Azerbaijani military servicemen.
