Artsakh Defense Army opened retaliatory fire. During the incident two civilians - a 52-year-old woman and 2-year-old girl from Azerbaijan’s side - were killed. Karabakh army spokesman Senor Hasratyan expressed condolences to the families of the victims in a Facebook post on Wednesday. “No child is an enemy, especially a two-year-old one.
