Azeri troops use grenade launchers in ceasefire violations overnight

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijani armed forces violated the truce on the night of March 11-12, firing around 2300 shots from various caliber firearms, 60-mm mortars and RPG-7 grenade launchers.

The Nagorno Karabakh Defense Army Units took measures to suppress the rival’s attacks and continue controlling the situation on the contact line.

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.

On the night of March 10-11, the rival also violated the truce, firing over 5500 shots from various caliber firearms, 60- and 82-mm mortars, as well as RPG-7 and AGS-17 grenade launchers.

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.
