The number of soldiers wounded as a result of Azerbaijani shelling in Artsakh is 19 people, Artsakh Health Minister Mikayel Hayriyan told Azatutyun.

"Four injured are in a serious condition, one of them is in an extremely serious condition. The condition of the others is assessed as moderate to light," Mikael Hayriyan said.

The minister answered the question, "Is there a need to move to Yerevan?" "There is a need, we have already moved some of the wounded, they are on their way now."

He noted that the soldiers who received medium and light wounds have been transferred to Yerevan, while the soldier who is in an extremely serious condition continues to stay in the Republican Hospital.

The minister said the servicemen suffered shrapnel wounds. "In other words, this is a consequence of the UAV."
