Azeri sniper fire and vowed retaliation.

Friday, while two other soldiers were killed Saturday during a barrage
of sniper fire from the Azeri direction.
The top military brass is prepared to take measures to prevent "acts
of sabotage," according a source at the defense ministry.
Speaking to Tert.am on condition of anonymity, the source said the
defense ministry is planning "large-scale punitive" actions on the
Karabakh-Azerbaijan border,
The Karabakh defense ministry also said the sabotage by Azerbaijan
comes to prove that Azerbaijan is not committed to implementing
agreements reached during negotiations with international mediators.
The statement added that Azerbaijan was continuing its unrestrained
attacks with impunity.
"This behavior deserves the most severe condemnation by the
international community," said a statement issued by Armenia's Foreign
Ministry on Saturday.
