An Azerbaijani border guard was arrested in a village in the occupied Berdzor district of Artsakh after killing three military staff members at a border outpost on Sunday, Gazeta.ru reported, citing the Azerbaijani Military Prosecutor’s Office.
The reasons for the incident remain unclear.
The man, identified as Sergeant Elkhan Avazly, opened fire on his fellow servicemen “for no apparent reason” and killed a first lieutenant and two noncommissioned officers, who were at that time at the border outpost. The suspect then dropped his weapon and fled, RT reported.
He was apprehended on January 3, shortly after midnight.
All the circumstances of the incident are being established, the military said.
