Azerbaijani armed forces initiated a subversive attack Thursday, March 10, at around 11:20 pm. Having timely identified the rival groups, Karabakh Defense Army units took retaliatory measures, throwing the saboteurs back to their positions. No casualties were registered on the Karabakh side. Besides, Azeri troops have used howitzer-type cannons. It is noteworthy that the rival didn't just bomb the Armenian positions deployed in the Akna direction, but, for the first time since the 1994 ceasefire agreement went as far as to open fire on areas, situated quite deep behind the frontline. The Nagorno Karabakh Defense Army units continue controlling the situation on the contact line and protecting their position. ![]() ![]() The foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan, Ararat Mirzoyan and Jeyhun Bayramov, have arrived in Washington.
