"On July 28, at around 12:00 noon, the units of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces have opened fire with rifles of different calibers at the Armenian military positions located in the eastern part of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border," reads a statement released by the Armenian Defense Ministry.
Spokesman of the Armenian Defense Ministry Aram Torosyan informed that the fire of the Azerbaijani units has been silenced by the retaliatory actions of the Armenian side.
Also, the Armenian Executive assured that there have been no casualties on the Armenian side.
Last July 4, it was Azerbaijan who denounced an attack by the Armenian Army on the common border.
The Azeri Ministry of Defense indicated in a communiqué that "positions of the Azerbaijani Army in Kalbajar were subjected to gunfire", before detailing that the event took place "in the settlement of Zarkand, in the region of Basarkechar".
Armenia and Azerbaijan had a confrontation in 2020 for the control of Nagorno-Karabakh, a territory with a majority Armenian population which has been the focus of conflict since it decided to separate in 1988 from the region of Azerbaijan integrated into the Soviet Union.
Hostilities between the two nations lasted six weeks and left thousands dead. They finally ceased when the two countries reached a Russian-brokered cease-fire agreement allowing Russian peacekeepers to settle in Nagorno-Karabakh for a period of five years.
