Earlier, the Armenian Defense Ministry stated that after midnight, Azerbaijani troops began shelling the border settlements in the south-east of the republic— Sotka, Goris and Jermuk— of artillery pieces and large-caliber weapons.
Pashinyan had a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which he called Baku's actions unacceptable. Pashinyan's press service noted that the leaders agreed to maintain operational contact.
Azerbaijan, in turn, reported that the Armenian military mined the supply lines of the Azerbaijani army at night, fired at several positions of the Azerbaijani army, because of which people died and military infrastructure was damaged.
The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry called the data on the invasion of Armenia absurd, blaming Yerevan for the escalation. The ministry stressed that the Azerbaijani army is “carrying out local countermeasures and neutralizing firing points.”
