On Saturday morning, the Ministry of Defense (MOD) of Azerbaijan disseminated disinformation, claiming that the units of the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) Defense Army had opened fire, with firearms, at the Azerbaijani military positions. This is noted in a statement by the press service of the Artsakh MOD.

In fact, it was the units of the Azerbaijani armed forces that frequently violated the ceasefire throughout Friday—firing 27 shells, from grenade launchers, at Khramort, Parukh, and Khanapat villages in the Askeran region of Artsakh, the aforesaid statement added.

And in the early morning hours of Saturday, the Azerbaijani side violated the ceasefire in various directions—and with the use of firearms—, the Artsakh MOD also noted in its statement.
