Armenia and Azerbaijan on Tuesday reported fierce border clashes that killed Azerbaijani soldiers in the latest clash between the two rival countries.
“On Tuesday at 00:05 a.m. (Monday 2005 GMT), Azerbaijan launched an intense shelling with artillery and large-caliber weapons against Armenian military posts,” the Armenian Defense Ministry said. He noted that Azerbaijan also used drones.
But the Azerbaijani defense ministry accused Armenia of “large-scale subversive actions” near the border, adding that its military positions “were attacked, including with trench mortars”. “There are casualties among (Azerbaijani) soldiers,” he added, without giving figures.
There have been regular reports of gunfights along the border between the two countries since the war between the two countries over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region ended in 2020.
Neighboring countries have fought two wars, one in the 1990s and the other in 2020, over Nagorno-Karabakh, an Azerbaijani enclave with an Armenian population.
The six weeks of fighting in 2020 left more than 6,500 dead and ended with a Russian-brokered ceasefire. Under the deal, Armenia ceded parts of the territory it has controlled for decades, and Moscow sent some 2,000 soldiers to oversee the fragile ceasefire.
