The Polish Chairmanship of the OSCE has expressed concern over the
casualties in the South Caucasus.

“We are extremely concerned about reported armed incidents and
casualties in the South Caucasus. We urge Armenia and Azerbaijan to
take all necessary measures to bring de-escalation and resume
dialogue. We remain committed to support all efforts aimed at
consolidating peace in the region,” the Chairmanship said in a Twitter
post.

Starting from 9 am on August 1, the Azerbaijani side has escalated the
situation, making attempts to cross the line of contact in Artsakh.

According to Artsakh’s Defense Ministry, one soldier was killed, eight
others were wounded as the Azerbaijani side employed grenade launchers
and strike drones this afternoon.
