No casualties were registered on the Armenian side, with the rival, according to a Karabakh report, having suffered losses. Also, Azerbaijani armed forces fired around 12000 shots from various caliber firearms on March 7-8. Karabakh’s troops took measures to suppress the Azeris’ attacks, continuing to control the situation along the contact line.
