The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry spread disinformation yet again, accusing the Artsakh military of opening fire at Azerbaijani combat positions deployed near the villages of Shosh and Taghavard on 20 and 21 February.

The Artsakh Defense Ministry denied the Azerbaijani allegations as “entirely false” in a statement on Monday, adding the Azeri troops themselves violated the ceasefire in the area.

“The ceasefire was actually violated by the Azerbaijani army units that fired indiscriminately on the Defense Army positions. There are no casualties or material damages as a result of the ceasefire violation,” the ministry said.

The Russian peacekeeping command has been alerted about the ceasefire violation by Azerbaijan.
