On the night of May 4th and 5th, the adversary continued to fire intermittently at Armenian border patrol situated along the northeast portion of the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, using assault rifles and sniper rifles of various calibers.

The Armed Forces of the Republic of Armenia confidently supervise the situation, resorting to appropriate countermeasures only during targeted ceasefire violations by the adversary.

According to information received from the NKR Defence Army, the situation has not changed on the line of contact between NKR and Azerbaijani forces. The adversary continues to violate the ceasefire using rifles of various calibers, 60 mm mortars, and TR-107 rockets.

Front line subdivisions of the Defence Army have mainly stayed away from responsive measures, and have employed all efforts to effectively defend all positions along the line of contact.
