The Defense Army of Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) on Thursday, June 22 denied firing on Azerbaijani positions across the line of contact.

“The statement disseminated by the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan that the Defense Army units allegedly opened fire against Azerbaijani combat positions located in the occupied territories of Askeran, Shushi and Martuni of the Republic of Artsakh on June 3 night does not correspond to reality,” the Defense Army said in a short statement.

The Azerbaijani side has also spread disinformation alleging that they have foiled engineering work by the Nagorno Karabakh army.
