The vanguard divisions of the enemy [Azerbaijani armed forces] have again started pre-attack operations in various directions of the frontline. Vahram Poghosyan, spokesperson for the President of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), stated this Monday morning on Facebook. 

“The [Artsakh] Defense Army is taking appropriate steps to stop them,” Poghosyan added.

On September 27, the Azerbaijani armed forces launched a large-scale attack against Artsakh, targeting the civilian population, too. On the same day, martial law was declared both in Armenia and Artsakh. A humanitarian ceasefire has come into force as of noon on October 10, but it has since been violated by the Azerbaijani army.
