The Azerbaijani troops opened fire at the Armenian defense positions in the Yeraskh section of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border early on Saturday, trying to carry out fortification works with engineering equipment, the Armenian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

After the retaliatory measures taken by the Armenian forces, the Azerbaijani fire was suppressed and the fortification works stopped.

As of 11am, the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border was relatively stable and under the full control of the Armenian military, the ministry said.
