The Azerbaijani military on Friday, February 19 opened fire on civilian homes in the Nagorno-Karabakkh village of Taghavard, the Prosecutor General's office of Artsakh said in a statement.

The walls of several houses in the community were damaged, while a bullet even pierced through the window of one of them and landed on the floor.

According to the statement, the Russian peacekeeping contingent has been notified of the incident.

The Russian peacekeepers were deployed in Artsakh immediately after Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents Vladimir Putin and Ilham Aliyev on November 9, 2020 signed a statement to end the war in Karabakh. Under the deal, the Armenian side returned all the seven regions surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, having lost a part of Karabakh itself in hostilities.
