The Armenian Side Has Victims And Wounded. Ministry of Defense
A little while ago, the spokesperson of the RA Ministry of Defense presented the official statement, which we present below.
On September 13, around 00:05, units of the Azerbaijani armed forces, using artillery, mortars and drones, opened intense fire towards Armenian positions located in several parts of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border at the same time. In particular, the positions located in the direction of Sotk, Vardenis, Goris, Kapan,
Artanish and Ishkhanasar were shelled. Civilian infrastructures are also being attacked.
The units of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia fully fulfill the combat tasks set before them.
The claims of the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan that the shelling was started by the Armenian side are completely false.
Moreover, the military-political leadership of Azerbaijan was preparing an obvious information base for this provocation during the past few days, which was evidenced by the misinformation published on a daily basis, allegedly regarding the shelling by the Armenian side. As in all previous cases, the latest large-scale provocation was also initiated by the armed forces of Azerbaijan.
The Armenian side has victims and wounded.
The data is being verified.
The Ministry of Defense will issue regular reports on the development of the situation. We urge you to refrain from publishing videos depicting combat operations and follow the official news feed
