The Nagorno Karabakh Defense Army on Wednesday, February 1 thwarted an attempted subversive attack by Azerbaijan in the north of the contact line, also capturing one of the saboteurs.
At around 3 p.m. local time, according to the Karabakh Defense Ministry, a battalion of Azerbaijani soldiers took advantage of foggy conditions and attempted to infiltrate the Karabakh-Azerbaijan border near the village of Talish.
Having timely identified the rival, Karabakh army border divisions launched a counter offensive, forcing the Azerbaijani units to retreat.
During the operation, an Azerbaijani saboteur, Elnur Hussein Zade (b. 1995) from the city of Barda was taken captive, the Karabakh Defense Army said.
At least one serviceman from the Azerbaijani side was wounded, a fact also reported by the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry.
Azerbaijani troops attempted a subversive attack near the village of Chinari in Armenia’s Tavush province in the early hours of December 29. Three Armenian servicemen were killed in the attack. The Armenian Defense Ministry said it possesses undeniable evidence of violation of the state border by Azerbaijan, adding that up to seven Azeri troops were also killed. Armenia still holds the body of one of Azerbaijan’s soldiers, with ICRC engaged in negotiations over its return.
