The Armenian Defense Ministry denied the report of the Azerbaijani side.

Earlier today, Azerbaijani media reported with reference to their country's defense ministry that the Armenian Armed Forces allegedly shelled Azerbaijani positions in the Tavush direction in the evening of 27 January.

"The report circulated by the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry that Armenian Armed Forces units opened fire at Azerbaijani combat positions located in the northeastern section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border on 27 January is misinformation.

In fact, around 10 p.m. on 27 January, random shots were fired from the Azerbaijani side in the said section of the border, but the Armenian units did not reply to them," the report says.
