Last night, the contact was lost—in yet unknown circumstances—with the personnel of several Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Defense Army combat positions that are located in the direction of Hin Tagher and Khtsaberd villages in Hadrut Region, the Defense Army reported Wednesday morning.

The search for them continued all night and this morning.

Through the mediation of the Russian peacekeeping contingent, active steps are being taken to determine the possibility of these Armenian servicemen being captured by Azerbaijan, and if this is confirmed, to take the necessary actions.
