Azerbaijan, however, violated the humanitarian ceasefire at approximately 9.10 a.m. by firing five artillery shells in the south-eastern direction.

Armenia and Azerbaijan agreed earlier that a humanitarian ceasefire reached on October 10 and October 17 will take effect in the morning of October 26, according to a statement released by the Governments of the United States, Armenia, and Azerbaijan on Sunday.
