[Presenter] The Armenian armed forces are continuing their offensive
on the Agdam section of the front line.
Two soldiers of the Armenian army were killed and several wounded in
an exchange of fire at about 2000 [1600 gmt] on 21 March.
Our soldier Ruslan Racabov, who was killed in an attempt to repel an
offensive mounted by Armenian servicemen on Agdam's village of Mirusen
on 20 March, was buried in Lankaran today. May he rest in peace.
Sahin Rzayev of the ANS Karabakh bureau reports more details of the
situation on the front line:
[Rzayev over phone] Starting from 0600 today [0200 gmt], the Armenian
armed forces fired from their positions in Agdam's occupied villages
of Sixlar and Qarvand on the positions of the Azerbaijani army in the
villages of Mirusen and Gulabli in the same district and then on the
villages themselves. The firing from assault rifles and machine guns
lasted for over an hour. The Azerbaijani forces opened retaliatory
fire to silence the enemy. The Armenian side sustained casualties.
The Armenian army again fired from the same positions on our positions
in the village of Mirusen at about 1300 [0900 gmt]. The shooting
lasted for 15 minutes this time.
We can hear sporadic gunshots on the front line at the moment, but
there is no intensive shooting.
