/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Since early-June, fires have periodically occurred
on NKR-Azerbaijani contact line, their basic cause being tracer bullet
shots released by the Azerbaijani side and arsons on Azeri-controlled
territories. As a result, fire spreads over NKR territory.

As reported by NKR rescue service, 24-hour watch was established and
field fire rescue posts are operating (with fire-fighting vehicle
and fire brigade) in relevant zones. Rescue service workers receive
assistance from NKR Defense Army and civilians. Relevant measures are
undertaken towards localizing and extinguishing fires and preventing
further disasters.

NKR authorities call on Azerbaijani side to refrain from any action
causing irretrievable damage to environment and threatening human
health and security, NKR Foreign Ministry’s press service reports.
