The Nagorno Karabakh Defense Ministry issued a statement refuting Azerbaijani Defense Ministry’s yet another misinformation.

“Azerbaijan’s claims suggesting that the country’s armed forces have destroyed an Armenian Krunk-25 drone are not true. The neighboring country’s defense department propagandists are once again indulging in wishful thinking,” the Karabakh Defense Ministry statement said.

As President Serzh Sargsyan said at the CSTO Collective Security Council session in Tajikistan, escalation at the Armenian-Azerbaijani border may lead to destabilization of the region. The President also informed the heads of the CSTO member states on the situation in the South Caucasus, focusing on the increasing threat of tensions along the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and the line of contact between Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh.

Azerbaijani armed forces continuously violated the ceasefire at the line of contact with Nagorno Karabakh on September 6-12.

According to the NKR defense army, 1200 ceasefire violations by Azerbaijani armed forces were registered, with around 19.000 shots fired from various caliber weapons, including 60- and 82-mm mortars, RPG-7, HAN-17 grenade launchers, as well as Turkish TP-107 rocket launcher.
