The Press Service of the NKR Defense Army informed that Defense Army has presented photos of Azerbaijani attacks at civilian settlement overnight April 25-26, which prove that Azerbaijan is committing atrocities and war crimes.
Earlier the NKR Defense Army released a statement which reads: “Overnight April 25-26 Azerbaijan violated the ceasefire agreement in the NKR-Azerbaijan line of contact more than 80 times. Azerbaijan used almost every artillery and armored equipment of its arsenal, in particular 60mm (26 shells), 82 mm (75 shells) mortars, RPG -7 (7 grenades), SPG-9 (2 grenades) and AGS-17 (3 grenades) grenade launchers, ZU-23-2 (200 shots) antiaircraft weapon system, TR-107 rocket system and a tank. In addition to targeting military positions, Azerbaijan shelled the Martakert civilian settlement by firing 14 rockets from MM-21 “Grad” multiple rocket launchers. Mataghis was also shelled by artillery fire (8 shells).
As a result of the Azerbaijani ceasefire violations, Defense Army soldiers Dikran M. Boghosian (born 1992) and Aram N. Arushanian (born 1972) were mortally wounded.
The NKR Army took countermeasure to suppress the Azerbaijani aggression and targeted Azerbaijani frontline positions and artillery bases, causing significant manpower and equipment loss.
