A serviceman of Nagorno-Karabakh’s Defense Army was fatally wounded in a northern military unit on Friday night, amid intensive ceasefire violations incited by Azerbaijan’s armed forces.
The escalation increased on the frontline after 7:30 Yerevan time as the adversary released fire from weapons of different calibers, grenade- and mine-launchers in violation of the recently agreed verbal truce.
The deceased serviceman is reported to be Armen H Martirosyan, 20.
A probe has been launched into the incident.
In its official statement released Thursday morning, the Ministry shares the heavy grief of the loss, extending its solidarity to the family and fellow servicemen of the deceased.
The Ministry says that its Defense Army’s frontline military units managed to silence the adversary thanks to adequate retaliatory operations.
