STEPANAKERT. – The adversary violated the ceasefire along the line of contact between the Karabakh and Azerbaijani opposing forces more than 40 times, from late Tuesday night to early Wednesday morning.

During this time the Azerbaijani armed forces fired around 4,000 shots toward the Armenian position-holders, and by way of rifle weaponry, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR/Artsakh) Defense Army informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.

More intensive shots were fired in a northerly direction of the line of contact, where the adversary fired over 500 shots from large-caliber machine guns.

But the NKR Defense Army vanguard units took actions in response so as to suppress the aggressive “activeness” of the Azerbaijani army, and they continued to fully control the frontline.
