23000 shots fired by Azerbaijany army March 6-12March 12, 2016 - 15:31 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijani armed forces violated the truce on March 6-12, firing over 23000 shots from various caliber firearms, 60- and 82-mm mortars, RPG-7 and AGS-17 grenade launchers. Azerbaijani armed forces initiated a subversive attack Thursday, March 10, at around 11:20 pm. Having timely identified the rival groups, Karabakh Defense Army units took retaliatory measures, throwing the saboteurs back to their positions. No casualties were registered on the Karabakh side. Besides, Azeri troops have used howitzer-type cannons. It is noteworthy that the rival didn't just bomb the Armenian positions deployed in the Akna direction, but, for the first time since the 1994 ceasefire agreement went as far as to open fire on areas, situated quite deep behind the frontline. The Nagorno Karabakh Defense Army units continue controlling the situation on the contact line and protecting their position. Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
