According to the information received from the press service of the NKR Defence Army, on the 4th of September at around 06:50 am in the Northern side of the Karabakh-Azerbaijani contact line (about 2km East of Jraberd) a recurrent attempt of attack by the enemy’s intelligence-saboteur forces was recorded. Due to the respective activities of the Defence Army’s advanced units and a close fight the Azerbaijani assaults were thrown back, leaving one casualty in the Defence Army’s combat post. While escaping, the members of the sabotage group were blown up by mines – some are wounded. According to some intelligence information, one of them is a commander of Azerbaijani AF intelligence and another – the Azerbaijani AF miners’ company.
There are no casualties from the Karabakh side.
The gun with a silencer and the handcuffs found at the corpse of the Azerbaijani assault prove that the armed intelligence unit entered the NKR territory in order to realize saboteur activities and, in case of success, they were also to take Armenian servicemen captives.
The details of the incident are being studied.
