Two wounded soldiers, apparently in critical condition, were taken to the military hospital in Baku by helicopter. The Defence Minister Zakir Hasanov have visited section frontline yesterday to personally investigate the incident. The press service of Hasanov said that the “accident” had occurred while the soldiers strengthened their trenches.

She said his troops repelled the commandos of Azerbaijan and that they have “stepped on a minefield during their retirement. ”
“Karabakh has not suffered losses,” said the Karabakh Defense Army said in a statement. “After the incident, the front line units of the army of defense continue to (…) control the situation along the line of contact. ”

Although the situation on the front appeared to have stabilized in February and March, ceasefire violations are a regular occurrence. Several soldiers from both warring parties died last month.
