Azerbaijan violates ceasefire with Armenia

The Azerbaijani military fired from various caliber firearms to target Armenian positions near Verin Shorzha, Gegharkunik province on Thursday, March 9, the Armenian Defense Ministry reports.

No casualties were reported on the Armenian side.

The Defense Ministry said the situation was relatively stable as of Thursday evening but was overall tense since mid-September.

The latest round of fighting between the two countries began in the wee hours of September 13, when the Azerbaijani military attacked Armenian posts and shelled Armenian settlements both on the border and deep behind the frontline. More than 200 people are dead or missing as a result, the Security Council of Armenia said a few days after the assault.
