Azerbaijan fired over 5,500 shots from various caliber weapons, using mortars and grenade launchers to shell positions of the Karabakh defense army, Nagorno Karabakh Defense Ministry press service said. The Ministry also issued a statement refuting the Baku-issued reports claiming that Karabakh forces bombed peaceful Azeri settlements. “Defense Army never targeted peaceful settlements. Azerbaijani forces hold “monopoly” on such actions,” the Defense Ministry said in a statement, adding that regular Azeri bombings and shellings of Armenian border settlements prove the above.
