On December 8, at 2100 (GMT+4), units of the Armenian armed
forces from the direction of Nerkin Hand and Tsav in Kapan District
subjected positions of Border Troops of the State Border Service of
Azerbaijan to continuous shelling from large-caliber weapons in the
direction of Kollugishlag and Razdara in Zangilan District,
Azernews reports per the State Border Service.
The shelling took place on a section of the Azerbaijani-Armenian
state border passing through the territory of Zangilan
District.
Units of the Azerbaijani Army took adequate retaliatory
measures. The operational situation is under the full control of
Azerbaijani units. The State Border Service regards this as another
provocation by Armenia, the statement said.
Armenia shells Azerbaijani military positions along the state
border on a regular basis. Since early September, Azerbaijani
positions have been repeatedly targeted by the Armenian forces.
The biggest border clashes between the sides since the 44-day
war in 2020 started during the night of September 12 to 13, when
the Armenian armed forces carried out large-scale provocations
along the Azerbaijani-Armenian state border in Dashkasan, Kalbajar,
and Lachin directions.
Following the October 6 meeting in Prague between the
Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders under the auspices of EU Council
President Charles Michel and French President Emmanuel Macron, all
sides reiterated their commitment to peace talks while recognizing
each other's territorial integrity.
