Azerbaijan has dramatically increased ceasefire violations along the
entire length of the Line of Contact between Karabakh and Azerbaijani
Armed Forces, the NKR Defence Army reports.
The most intense shelling was recorded on November 12 in the eastern
section of the Contact Line in the direction of the crash site of an
Armenian army helicopter downed by Azerbaijan on the same day. On
the night of Nov. 20, Azerbaijan fired 190 shots from high-caliber
weapons in the direction of the shooting incident.
The frontline troops of the Defence Army are taking all necessary
measures to prevent the enemy from approaching the crash site of the
downed helicopter. At present, both the crash site and the entire
frontline are controlled by Armenian troops, the Defence Army said.
On November 12, Azerbaijani forces shot an Mi-24 military
helicopter belonging to the Artsakh Armed Forces, killing three
servicemen. The helicopter was on a training mission and according
to the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Defense Ministry was unarmed.
Baku claimed that the helicopter shot at Azerbaijani positions in
Aghdam on the border of Artsakh and Azerbaijan. The allegation was
dismissed by the Karabakh authorities, who added that after shooting
down the helicopter, the Azerbaijani forces continued the shelling
of Karabakh positions throughout the afternoon.
