Over 2500 instances of ceasefire violation by Azeri armed forces were posted on the week of Jan 4-10 at the line of contact with Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) armed forces.

Azerbaijan fired over 25000 shots from various caliber weapons, with mortars and grenade launchers used to shell positions of Karabakh defense army.

The escalation, however, somewhat subsided by the end of the week.
