On April 24-25, the Azerbaijani side committed 38 violations on the north-eastern section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani national border. Azerbaijan released recurrent fire at Armenian positions with various calibre weapons and snipers. Apart from artillery weapons, the enemy also applied RPG-7 grenade launchers.

The RA AF frontline subdivisions have exercised restraint, retaliated only in cases of strict necessity, and confidently pursue monitoring the situation on the border.

In accordance with the situational report conveyed by the NKR DA, on the night of April 24-25, the enemy violated the oral agreement on ceasefire around 120 times, whilst attacking with 60mm (3 projectiles) and 82mm (4 projectiles) mortars, AGS-17 grenade launchers (57 projectiles), and ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft twin-barrelled auto-cannon (11 shootings). On the south-eastern direction (Martakert) of the contact-line, the enemy applied, once again, one SPIKE anti-tank guided missile.

As a result of retaliation measures undertaken by the DA frontline subdivisions, the enemy has been suppressed.
