As of 5am Tuesday, the situation at the border with Azerbaijan has not changed, informed the Republic of Armenia Ministry of Defense (RA MOD).

"The adversary continues to use artillery means, grenade launchers, UAVs, and large-caliber firearms in the directions of Vardenis, Sotk, Artanish, Ishkhanasar, Goris, and Kapan, targeting both military and civilian infrastructures.

Positional battles are taking place in some parts of the border. The RA armed forces give a proper response to the adversary and carry out the combat tasks set before them in full. Data on the losses of the Armenian side are being verified.

The entire accountability for the created situation and its future developments are borne by the military and political leadership of Azerbaijan," added the MOD of Armenia.

Starting from 12:05am on Tuesday, the units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces started firing intensively—from artillery and large-caliber firearms—at Armenia’s positions toward Goris, Kapan, Sotk, Jermuk, Artanish, and Ishkhanasar. The adversary is using drones, too. As a result of this large-scale provocation by the Azerbaijani side, an intense shootout has begun. The adversary is attacking both military and civilian objects, and is carrying out positional advance operations in some directions. Positional battles are going on. The Ministry of Defense informs that the Armenian side has casualties and wounded; the data is being verified.
