The message spread by the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan that on July 8, between 22:35 and 23:10, units of the Artsakh Defense Army allegedly opened fire on Azerbaijani positions located in the [Azerbaijani-]occupied territories of the Shushi and Karvachar regions of the Republic of Artsakh is yet another disinformation. This was reported by the Press Service of the Artsakh Defense Army.

The claim of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan about engineering works allegedly disrupted as a result of their [Artsakh Defense Army] actions is completely untrue.

The false statements of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan aim to justify the fire that is regularly opened in the direction of equipment doing agricultural work.
