Azerbaijan used combat vehicles to advance overnight but couldn't

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Azerbaijani military attempted to advance near the villages of Avetaranots and Sghnakh with the support of close to 10 pieces of combat vehicles overnight but were thrown back by the Armenian troops, the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army said Sunday, November 1 morning.

Throughout the night, fighting continued in the southwestern, southeastern, and northern directions of the frontline.

Azerbaijan also continued shelling the civilian settlements of Artsakh (Karabakh), delivering rocket and artillery strikes on the towns of Martuni, Shushi, as well as the village of Karin Tak. Enemy fire positions in those directions have come under the Defense Army units’ pinpoint strikes.

As of Sunday morning, the Azeri forces have resumed offensive action, at the same time shelling civilian settlements. The Karabakh army maintains full control across the entire frontline, keeping a watchful eye on all the enemy movements and, if necessary, firing targeted strikes.

Azerbaijan, with help from Turkey and Syrian and Libyan mercenaries deployed by Ankara, started a war against Karabakh (Artsakh) in the morning of September 27. The Armenian side has reported deaths and injuries both among the civilian population and the military. Foreign and local journalists too have been injured in Azeri shelling of towns and villages.
