An investigation into the details of the incident is underway, the Karabakh army said.

Also, more than 55 ceasefire violations by the Azerbaijani army were registered on the contact line with Nagorno Karabakh on January 22-23.

To suppress the rival's attacks, the Karabakh Defense Army troops retaliated and continued protecting their positions.
