YEREVAN. – The Armenian Armed Forces carrying out defensive actions have started a counterattack, Spokesperson of the Armenian Ministry of Defense, Artsrun Hovhannisyan, wrote on his Facebook page.

“The intense battles on the Azerbaijani-Karabakh border are underway. According to the operative information, the Armenian Armed Forces carrying out defensive actions have started a counterattack, inflicting serious losses to the adversary. The priority plans of the adversary have failed, and this can be proved by the fact that no Azerbaijani websites have been posted any information on these large-scale military actions. The adversary has two ways out: either to change the situation or think of methods to inform its population on its human and material losses,” Hovhannisayan said.

The Armenian MOD has warned about the unpredictable consequences for the Azerbaijani side in case of continuing the attack.

The Air Defense of the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army has downed an Azerbaijan chopper.

The Azerbaijani forces have launched offensive actions on the Contact Line with the Nagorno-Karabakh Armed Forces.
