Two foreigners wounded in Azerbaijan’s fire from across the border

PanARMENIAN.Net - Two foreign nationals were wounded on Wednesday, June 14 when the Azerbaijani military opened fire on a metallurgical plant currently under construction with foreign investments in the Armenian village of Yeraskh, the Defense Ministry reports.

“The Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan disseminated disinformation at around 11:30 a.m. alleging that the Armenian Armed Forces opened fire against the Azerbaijani combat positions near the Yeraskh settlement, thus creating grounds [for ceasefire violation]: 10-15 minutes later, at around 11:45 a.m., the Azerbaijani side opened fire in the same direction at the metallurgical plant being built with foreign investments in Yeraskh, as a result of which 2 foreign citizens were wounded,” the Defense Ministry of Armenia said in a statement posted.
