Karabakh troops control frontline as Azerbaijan uses Istiglal sniper rifles

More than 30 ceasefire violations by the Azerbaijani army were registered on the contact line with Nagorno Karabakh overnight on February 2-3.

Azeri troops, in particular, employed various caliber firearms to fire around 440 shots, also using Istiglal sniper rifles southeast of the frontline.

The Karabakh Defense Army forces refrained from retaliating to continue protecting their positions.

Around 20 ceasefire violations by the Azerbaijani army were registered on the contact line the night before. Also, the Karabakh Defense Army on February 1 thwarted an attempted subversive attack by Azerbaijan in the north of the contact line, also capturing one of the saboteurs.
