STEPANAKERT. – The adversary violated the ceasefire along the line of contact between the Karabakh and Azerbaijani opposing forces more than 50 times, from late Thursday night to early Friday morning.

During this time the Azerbaijani armed forces fired around 1,800 shots toward the Armenian position-holders, and by way of various caliber weapons, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR/Artsakh) Defense Army informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.

More intensive ceasefire violations were recorded in a northerly and northeasterly direction of the line of contact, where the adversary fired 155 shots from large-caliber machine guns, and 109 shots from long-range sniper rifles. In addition, the Azerbaijani army fired one grenade from an automatic grenade launcher, in a northerly direction.

But the NKR Defense Army vanguard units took actions in response to suppress the aggressive “activeness” of the adversary, and continued confidently carrying out the military task set before them.
