Two servicemen killed, 10 injured in Azeri strike on Armenia

Two servicemen were killed and 10 other injured in Azerbaijan's strike on military equipment on combat duty in the territory of Armenia on Wednesday, October 14, the Prosecutor General's office reported Thursday.

The Azerbaijani drone strike on Armenian soil on Wednesday also injured a 14-year-old child who was on his way to the field for harvest in Gegharkunik province.

As a result of Azerbaijan's aggression against the Armenia, 5 servicemen of the Armenian Armed Forces have been killed and 11 others injured since September 27. None of them were involved in hostilities in any way.

"Following the actions of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, criminal cases have been initiated in Armenia under a number of articles of the Criminal Code," the Prosecutor General's office said.

Azerbaijan, with help from Turkey and Syrian and Libyan mercenaries deployed by Ankara, started a war against Karabakh (Artsakh) in the morning of September 27. The Armenian side has reported deaths and injuries both among the civilian population and the military. Foreign and local journalists too have been injured in Azeri shelling of towns and villages.

Donations can be made to Hayastan All-Armenian Fund, which has launched a fundraising campaign to support humanitarian efforts in Karabakh.
