Border surveillance cameras of the Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) Defense Army have recorded the exact location and time when Azerbaijan launched an attack on Armenian positions in the early hours of October 18, violating the ceasefire agreement reached earlier.

The humanitarian truce was supposed to come into effect in the morning of October 18.

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.
