Azerbaijani forces again open fire at Artsakh civilian settlements

The Azerbaijani military is again firing at Stepanakert City and other civilian settlements of Artsakh, the Armenian Defense Ministry spokesperson Artsrun Hovhannisyan said.

In turn, Artsakh’s presidential spokesperson Vahram Poghosyan said that “the terrorist army of the enemy” is being “mercilessly” neutralized by the Artsakh Defense Army.

The information on Azeri forces hiring mercenaries from Syrian jihadist terror organizations through Turkey has already been confirmed by intelligence agencies from France, Russia, the US and others.

One of these mercenaries had personally spoken about it to the BBC earlier.

Artsakh’s capital city Stepanakert and other towns have come under intense bombardment from Azerbaijan.

The Azeri forces have used cluster munitions, which resulted in over 20 civilian casualties and heavy damages.
