One Armenian soldier was killed and several others were wounded in Azerbaijan's fresh offensive in the eastern section of the border Friday, December 10, the Defense Ministry reports.

The Defense Ministry said the shooting has stopped as of 2:30 pm, with the Armenian military controlling the situation on the border.

After Azerbaijan attacked hours earlier, the Armenian side "took retaliatory measures causing human losses to the adversary and throwing them back to their position," the Defense Ministry said in its previous statement.
