Around 60 ceasefire violations by Azerbaijan were registered on the contact line with Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) on May 17 and the following night, with more than 650 shots fired from various caliber firearms.

Besides, Azeri forces also employed a grenade launcher, a D-44 divisional gun, as well as an 82-mm mortar in various directions of the frontline.

Artsakh defense army troops took preventive measures to continue controlling the situation along the contact line.

Video footage unveiled on May 17 revealed Azerbaijan's sheling of an Artsakh military objective several days ago and Karabakh's retaliatory fire.
