Azerbaijani forces open fire on Armenian positions again

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijani forces used various caliber firearms to target the Armenian positions near Yeraskh, Ararat province on Wednesday, August 11. The shooting lasted about five hours, the Defense Army reports.

The Armenian units took suppressive measures to silence the Azerbaijani troops. No casualties were reported, the Defense Ministry added.

Azerbaijan has been violating the ceasefire with both Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, firing from various caliber weapons and even using suicide drones.
