YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 1, ARMENPRESS. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan accused Azerbaijan of encroaching on the territorial integrity of Armenia after Azeri forces killed 3 Armenian troops and wounded 2 others in a border attack on Friday.
“Today, Azerbaijani Armed Forces , using UAVs and mortars, attacked positions towards the Armenian combat outposts nearby Sotk & Norabak, leaving 3 servicemen dead & 2 wounded. Encroachments on the territorial integrity of Armenia, combined with warmongering rhetoric, are a continuation of Azerbaijan’s policy,” PM Pashinyan said in a post on X.
The Armenian Ministry of Defense initially reported that the death toll was 4, but then updated it to 3.
