STEPANAKERT. – The operative situation along the line of contact between the Karabakh and Azerbaijani opposing forces remained relatively quiet, from December 3 to 9.

But during this time, the Azerbaijani armed forces violated the ceasefire around 150 times by firing more than 1,500 shots toward the Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh Republic/NKR) military positions, press service of the Artsakh Ministry of Defense (MOD) informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.

In addition to shooting weapons, the adversary fired one shell from a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, at the northeastern sector of the line of contact.

But the NKR Defense Army vanguard units refrained from taking actions in response, and they took necessary steps to unfailingly maintain their combat positions.
