Azerbaijan makes yet another subversive attempt
On the night of August 1-2, Azerbaijani troops once again attempted to carry out subversive-reconnaissance actions in the northeastern direction (Martakert) of the Line of Contact between the armed forces of Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan, Defense Ministry of the NKR said.
The frontline units of the NKR Defense Army noticed in time the advance of Azerbaijani special mission units and took retaliatory actions, throwing the enemy back to the previous position. The enemy retreated, suffering losses and leaving behind arms and equipment.
According to the NKR Defense Army, at least 3 Azerbaijani servicemen were killed and 7 others wounded.
The Armenian side also suffered a casualty: serviceman Zorik Gevorgyan, 25, was killed.
Defense Ministry of NKR shares the grief of bereavement and expresses its support to Zorik Gevorgyan’s family, friends and fellow servicemen.
An investigation is underway.
Last night the Azerbaijani side launched attacks in the north, northeastern and eastern directions of the Line of Contact. Frontline units of the NKR Defense Army throw Azerbaijani troops to the previous positions. The Armenian side did not suffer losses.
