The drones were destroyed near the village of Shatjrek, the settlements of Mets-Masrik and Sotk and the village of Akunk.

Since the beginning of hostilities in Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan has used drones to target civilian settlements and positions in Armenia as well, which has resulted in deaths and injuries.
