Baku, Azerbaijan (AHN) – As a result of ongoing tensions Azerbaijani
and Armenian forces got into a heated exchange of exchange of heavy
gunfire and mortars along their border late Monday and early Tuesday.
The barrage of fighting took place on several points along their
border, and sparked some of the most intense fighting in months.
Azerbaijan authorities report the death of one soldier while
another one is in critical condition. Armenian officials also report
several-wounded behind their lines as well.
The two countries remain at odds over the status of Nagorno-Karabakh,
an ethnic Armenian enclave within Azerbaijan, with fighting occurring
over a so called no mans land the two countries are in dispute over.
