The adversary [Azerbaijan] continues to violate all the written and unwritten rules of war—targeting the settlements in the deep rear. Suren Sarumyan, spokesperson for the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Defense Army, told this to a briefing Saturday.

"Peaceful settlements [of Artsakh] were also shelled today, including missile attacks were made on civilian facilities in the capital Stepanakert," Sarumyan added.
