The fights continued all night yesterday. The continuation of the fighting is conditioned by the fact that the subversive groups, which are located in the communities near the city of Shushi, in the forests, on the roads, in the gorges, etc., are trying to solve certain problems.
Today the battles continued with the use of artillery and were heavier. During the day, the Azerbaijani armed forces tried to advance again in the northern, southern, central direction, in the Red Market area, with small attack groups and minimal armor, with the support of artillery fire, but were repulsed, suffering some losses.
In the communities near Shushi, in the forests, the subversive groups, mainly meeting the resistance of different units of our armed forces, the checkpoints of the main points, the security units, did not keep fighting long. During the day, our armed forces managed to encircle some aubversive groups and neutralize them. They were thrown back from their starting points suffering losses. The battles at the moment continue.
