Three Armenian soldiers were hospitalized with shrapnel wounds after a shelling attack from the Azerbaijani side, the authorities of Armenia reported. The total number of deceased and wounded in shelling attacks which took place on July 12 and 13 on the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia reached 13 people.

On July 12, an armed clash took place on the border in the Tovuz District of Azerbaijan and the Tavush District of Armenia. As a result, three Azerbaijani soldiers were killed and four others were wounded. Today, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) of Azerbaijan has reported about new armed clashes and the death of the fourth soldier.

Let us remind you that on July 9, Azerbaijani military analysts noted there was still a threat of combat actions between the troops of Azerbaijan and Armenia.

The Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan every day reports shelling attacks on its positions in the Karabakh conflict zone and on the border with the Tavush District of Armenia. Until the third decade of June, 20-30 shelling attacks over 24 hours were reported. However, the number of registered shelling attacks increased later: on some days, more than 50 shelling attacks were reported, and on July 8, the Ministry of Defence of Azerbaijan registered 78 shelling attacks over 24 hours. Today, Azerbaijan has reported 70 shelling attacks on its positions, including from grenade and mortar launchers.

  • Compensation decrease for illegal prosecution violates rights of KBR resident

    The court ruling, which awarded Madin Gubzhokov compensation of 30,000 roubles for unlawful criminal prosecution, is incomparable with the moral harm caused by the actions of Azamat Kyaov, a former law enforcer. The amount is ridiculous and should be appealed against, lawyers and human rights defenders have stated.
