STEPANAKERT. – The Republic of Artsakh Ministry of Defense (Nagorno-Karabakh Republic/NKR MOD) has presented excerpts from the video footage of the Azerbaijani armed forces’ shelling from a TR-107 artillery rocket launcher, on Tuesday evening.

Please take a close look at the timeline on the screen. Accordingly, the Karabakh side opened fire in response at 8:31pm; that is, solely after several shelling by the adversary.

The Azerbaijanis’ conversations in the footage attest to the fact that the actions in response by the Artsakh Defense Army vanguard units were carried out toward the Azerbaijani firing positions. The adversary usually installs its firing positions at residential areas, and thus makes civilians become a human shield.
