STEPANAKERT. – The Azerbaijani armed forces continue taking provocative actions at some parts of the line of contact between the Karabakh and Azerbaijani opposing forces, on Thursday night and since Friday morning.

In particular, the adversary is shelling—with mortars—the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR/Artsakh) Defense Army positions located in a northeasterly (Talish and Yaremja villages) direction of the frontlines, starting from Friday at 12:15pm, the Defense Army informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Especially the Artsakh military outposts located in the direction of Yaremja village are subjected to intense shelling.

But the NKR Defense Army vanguard units are taking actions in response to quell this aggressive activity by the adversary.

The Artsakh Ministry of Defense stated that the full accountability for this rise in border tension falls on the Azerbaijani side.
