Tensions were high at the line of contact between the armed forces of Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan last night, the NKR Defense ministry reports.

The rival used artillery weapons of different caliber as it fired more than 2,000 shots in the direction of the Armenian positions.

“The front divisions of the NKR Defense Army keep control of the situation at the state border and resort to retaliatory measures if necessary,” the Ministry said in a statement.
