The Azeri army’s positions in areas of two districts have been subjected to shots from diverse-caliber infantry weapons by Armenian armed units in the last few hours, the military institution stated on Tuesday.

According to the Defense Ministry, the Azeri military forces have taken appropriate measures.

In mid-September 2021, violent armed clashes took place in several sections of the common border.

It was the largest outbreak of hostilities in nearly two years.

It occurred outside the Nagorno-Karabakh region, with a majority Armenian population over which Yerevan and Baku have fought several wars since they seceded from the then Soviet Socialist Republic of Azerbaijan in 1988.

Over 200 service personnel have been killed and hundreds have been wounded on both sides during the September fighting.
