The statement by the Ministry of Defense (MoD) of Azerbaijan claiming that the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Defense Army units opened fire, on Wednesday 21 and Thursday morning, in the direction of Azerbaijani positions located in the Azerbaijani-occupied territories in the Martuni, Shushi, and Askeran regions of Artsakh does not correspond to reality.

The Artsakh Defense Army informs Armenian News-NEWS.am that, also, the Azerbaijan MoD continues to disseminate disinformation, stating that it has allegedly prevented the fortification work being carried out by the Artsakh Defense Army.
