YEREVAN, JUNE 23, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijani armed forces opened gunfire at a farmer in Nagorno Karabakh on June 22, the Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) Ministry of Defense said in a statement.

Nagorno Karabakh authorities said they reported the shooting to the Russian peacekeepers.

As of 09:30, June 23 the situation on the line of contact was relatively stable, the Defense Ministry of Nagorno Karabakh added.

The shooting comes a day after Azeri forces shot and wounded an on-duty soldier of the Defense Army.
