PanARMENIAN.Net - A Karabakh serviceman, Hayk Minasyan received a gunshot wound in Azerbaijan's cross border fire on Saturday, April 23, at around 3:00 pm, Armenian Defense Ministry press secretary Artsrun Hovhannisyan said in a Facebook post.

Also Saturday, in the period between 3:55pm and 8:00pm, the Azerbaijani armed units intensively shelled the Armenian positions in the northeastern (Martakert), eastern (Askeran) and northern (Talish) directions of the contact line, using 60- and 82-mm mortars.
