YEREVAN. – Some news outlets reported today that the car of the battalion commander of one of Armenia’s military units was burned yesterday by the shooting from the Azerbaijani side. Shushan Stepanyan, spokesperson for the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Armenia (RA), wrote about this on her Facebook page.

"Such incidents are not ruled out during the daily activities of the troops, there is mutual shooting at the border every day, as a result of which both our and the adversary's military equipment is damaged.

The situation, particularly in the noted direction of [Azerbaijan’s] Nakhchivan, is relatively stable and controllable; there are no worrying developments.

The incident took place in the area of the new fortifications being built by the Armenian Armed Forces at the area between the [military] positions. Yes, the car burned down, but it did not serve the battalion commander.

As a result of the retaliatory actions by the divisions of the RA Armed Forces, the adversary is always under pressure. But, unlike some Armenian media, the Azerbaijani ones, unfortunately, do not report about it," Stepanyan added.
