The Armenian Ministry of Defence reported that the Azerbaijani side lost three units of military equipment and about 20 military personnel.
Early Thursday morning, Azerbaijani armed forces attempted to launch an attack on the south side of the Nagorno-Karabakh line of contact fire. This was stated by the official representative of the Armenian Defense Ministry Artsrun Hovhannisyan.
“Early in the morning, at 08:30, the enemy attempted an attack in the south direction, but after losing three pieces of military equipment and about 20 soldiers, fled the battlefield at Jabrail”, – he said.
The situation in Nagorno-Karabakh escalated on 27 September, and active battles are taking place on the disputed territory. Martial law has been introduced in Azerbaijan and Armenia, and mobilization has been announced. Both sides are reporting dead and wounded, including among the civilian population.
Baku and Yerevan have been contesting Nagorno-Karabakh since February 1988, when the region announced its withdrawal from the Azerbaijan SSR. During the armed conflict between 1992 and 1994, Azerbaijan lost control over Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding districts.
