BAKU, Dec 14 (NNN-ASNA) – Azerbaijan and Armenia yesterday reported casualties in the region of Nagorno-Karabakh, while accusing each other of violating an established ceasefire.
The blame came a month after the two sides called a truce in their latest round of armed-conflict since Sept.
Azerbaijan’s defence ministry and State Security Service said, Armenian servicemen attacked Azerbaijani military servicemen twice in Hadrut, between Nov 26 and Dec 8, resulting in the deaths of four servicemen, along with three injuries.
Meanwhile, Armenia’s Foreign Ministry said, the Azerbaijani special forces’ attack in Hadrut on Dec 11 wounded six Armenian servicemen.
The Russian Defence Ministry reported the violation of the ceasefire a day earlier, but did not specify which side opened fire first.
Armed clashes between the two South Caucasus countries in Nagorno-Karabakh came to a halt on Nov 10, when Russian brokered a ceasefire with the deployment of its peacekeeping contingent to the conflict zone.– NNN-ASNA
