Last night and this morning the armed conflict has escalated on the north-eastern part of the Armenian-Azerbaijani national border, near the residential areas of Berdavan and Koti, located in the RA Tavush region. The Azerbaijani side used different calibre weapons, of these 60 and 82mm mortars, in the direction of Armenian positions and settlements.

As a result of retaliatory actions carried out by the RA AF frontline subdivisions, the enemy’s activity was suppressed. During the exchange of fire, contract soldier Zori Ashrafyan (born 1983) received shrapnel wound.

The RA Armed Forces, whilst exercising restraint, continue to confidently monitor the situation on the border.
