[Presenter] The Armenian armed forces continuously fired at our
positions in five areas at about 2200 [1700 gmt] last night. Sahin
Rzayev reports the details from ANS’s Karabakh bureau.

[Rzayev] The Armenian army attempted to carry out offensives in the
Agdam section of the front line. At 2200, the Armenian armed forces
started firing from the occupied village of Qarvand in Agdam on the
villages of Miraselli and Ciragli. Bullets hit most houses in the
villages, getting into some of them. The villages were mainly fired
from machine guns and automatic weapons, while the positions from
grenade launchers. They fired on the positions in the villages of
Ciragli and Ahmadagali from an area called Gulculuk farm.

At 2215 [1715], the Armenian armed forces fired from Agdam’s occupied
village of Sixlar at the village of Orta Qislaq. At about the same
time, the Armenian armed forces opened fire at our positions in the
settlement of Tazakand from the village of Surabad. Residents of
the village say that the latest firing was one of the most powerful
military operations carried out by the Armenian army over the past 10
years. It should also be noted that during the attack, four villages
in Agdam District and positions of the Azerbaijani army stationed
in those villages came under intensive fire, which lasted more than
an hour. The Azerbaijani army launched a retaliatory action to stop
the efforts of the Armenian army to continue the attacks. There are
no casualties among our military and civilians. Sahin Rzayev, ANS.
