The command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent in Nagorno-Karabakh is conducting negotiations with the Azerbaijani and Armenian sides due to the shooting of a vehicle, with the officers of the Nagorno-Karabakh law enforcement agencies, by the Azerbaijani military in Nagorno-Karabakh on March 5, reports the press service of the Ministry of Defense (MOD) of Russia.

"Military actions have been stopped with the efforts of Russian peacekeepers," the statement also reads.

It is also reported that the passage of a convoy—with humanitarian cargo—of the Russian peacekeeping troops was ensured Monday on the Goris-Stepanakert route.

In order to ensure security and prevent possible incidents, Russian peacekeepers maintain continuous cooperation with the general staffs of the armed forces of Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Patrolling is carried out on three routes: in the districts of the Martakert and Martuni regions, and at the Lachin corridor.

Earlier, Armenian News-NEWS.am reported that at around 10am on March 5, a sabotage group of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces targeted and opened fire on a staff shift vehicle of the Passport and Visa Department of the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Police. Three Artsakh policemen were killed and one was injured as a result. Baku, in turn, reported the death of two Azerbaijani servicemen.
