Dovegh village in Armenian Tavush region has been attacked on Wednesday by Azerbaijani military units. According to the interviews, conducted by Armenian News-NEWS.am with the inhabitants of Dovegh, the village was under fire for two hours, from 10 a.m. until noon.

The fire was focused on the small square of the village, where the kindergarten is located. When Azerbaijanis started the fire in the morning, children were in the kindergarten. Luckily, no one was injured, although, the bullets were fired directly on the kindergarten, which was damaged. Once the fire started, adults evacuated children from the backyard.

“They fired with heavy machineguns; it was a miracle that no one has been injured, we were lucky as we rapidly evacuated the children from the kindergarten and later from the school as well. The school was not accessible for the fire but we decided to evacuate students from the school as well, just in case,” said one of the villagers.

According to the Dovegh village inhabitants, Azerbaijanis occasionally fire on the village, however, the fire has never been this long and intense.

“We cannot work the land, we are are frightened. I have no idea, what will happen to our crop and where will we find means for living,” said another interviewee from Dovegh.
