of the attack.
Thus, the counter-offensive became necessary.
As a result of four-day battles, the Azerbaijani army liberated
several strategically important heights and restored control over
2,000 hectares of land. The positions in the direction of Tartar
District's Talish village and Sugovushan settlement, Jabrayil
District's Lalatapa height and Jojug Marjanli village, as well as
Goranboy District's Gulustan village, were cleared of enemy forces.
Some 30 Armenian tanks, up to 15 artillery installations and
engineering fortifications were subjected to destruction, 320
Armenian soldiers were killed and over 500 enemy soldiers were
wounded.
Military operations along the line of contact between the
Azerbaijani and Armenian forces ceased on April 5, by agreement of
the parties.
The Azerbaijani army's victories in the April battles laid the
foundation of Azerbaijani lands' liberation from Armenia's
occupation in the 44-day war lasting from late September to early
November 2020.
