The Armenian Defense Ministry stated that the Azerbaijani military fired at their positions on the northeastern section of the border.
According to the ministry, the fire from small arms was conducted the night before, from 22:00 to 22:40 local time, it was suppressed by retaliatory actions. The situation at the border was relatively calm at night.
“There are no casualties from the Armenian side,” the message says.
Skirmishes on the border resumed on July 28, with deaths and wounded reported. Baku and Yerevan accused each other of violating the ceasefire agreement, but later, through the mediation of Russian peacekeepers, they agreed on an armistice.
Nevertheless, shelling continues.
Relations between the republics remain very tense, primarily due to the situation around Nagorno-Karabakh. Last fall, another round of military confrontation ended with the conclusion of an agreement beneficial for Azerbaijan: Armenia returned the Kelbajar, Lachin and Aghdam regions; Russian peacekeepers are stationed in the region. In Armenia, this document provoked a government crisis.
