During the last night, the Azerbaijani armed forces made several large-scale attacks along the entire north-western border of Artsakh, which failed. Some units remained in a trap and were completely destroyed by artillery fire.
Early in the morning several attempts were to attack other parts of the border – in the north, in Martakert, in the center, in the direction of Martuni, in different directions of the southern part. Today’s attacks differ in their strength from the attacks of the previous days.
Attempts by Azerbaijan to attack in all directions failed, in some places they were even repulsed and persecuted. Our subdivisions managed to pursue and have certain positional changes.
Azerbaijani Armed Forces managed to take one or two positions in the direction of Martuni – South of Martuni, in the direction of Chartar.
At this moment the battles continue. In general, all the offensive operations today have failed in all directions. Mainly squad and battalion-sized subdivisions were used. Aviation was actively used, several settlements were bombed, including in the direction of Davit Bek village.
In general, the situation is under control. The movements of the adversary, the regroups are fixed and they are neutralized mainly by artillery fire.
