Karabakh | 12.01.15 | 13:58
Military authorities in Stepanakert have reported the use of unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAV) by Azerbaijan amid an increased rate of ceasefire
violations along the line of contact.
The Defense Ministry of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic said on Sunday
that the previous night Azerbaijani armed forces violated the truce
200 times, firing at least 2,000 shots from different firearms.
It said the Defence Army's units are in full control of the situation
and retaliate if necessity.
Meanwhile, the Karabakh Defense Ministry also reported attempts by
Azerbaijani forces to infiltrate into Armenian-controlled territory
in the northeastern (Jraberd) and eastern (Akna) directions last night.
It said both attempts were timely spotted by Karabakh's advanced
units and were stopped.
Also today, Armenian Defense Ministry spokesman Artsrun Hovhannisyan
said in a Facebook post that Armenia's armed forces allowed Azerbaijan
to recover the body of one of its servicemen who was part of a sabotage
group that attempted to infiltrate into Armenian-controlled territory
in Tavush on Sunday afternoon.
An Armenian herdsman who happened to be in the area was killed in
the exchange of fire during the engagement in which Hovhannisyan said
Armenian forces managed to stop the Azeri raid.
