PanARMENIAN.Net - An Azerbaijani subversive group took an unsuccessful attempt to cross the contact line with Nagorno Karabakh armed forces on Friday, August 28, at 1:40 am local time.

NKR Defense Army units identified the Azerbaijani 20-25-member group on time, took retaliatory measures and threw the rivals back to their positions. No casualties were registered on the Armenian side.

Besides, 110 ceasefire violations by Azeri armed forces were registered Thursday, with over 2000 shots fired from various caliber weapons, including 60mm, 82mm and 120 mm mortars.
