The Azerbaijani military stopped and turned back a column of Russian peacekeepers, Minval reported, citing its own sources.

"The day before, at 17:15, a column of Russian peacekeepers consisting of 1 BTR 82A and 3 Ural vehicles was stopped for inspection at an Azerbaijani army checkpoint, which was going through Aghdam on the Askeran-Agdere route. And during the inspection of the vehicles, at least five Kalashnikov AKMs were found in the cargo compartment of one of the vehicles between the sleeping pads. In response to a gross violation of the rules – carrying weapons and ammunition without documents – the convoy was stopped and sent back," an Azerbaijani media report said.
