As we have already reported, at around 10:00, this morning, 3 police officers were killed and another officer was injured as a result of the targeting of the shift vehicle of the Police Passport and Visa Department in the area called “Khaipalu” by the subversive group of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces.

“The Azerbaijani side presents false facts, claiming that weapons were being transported from Armenia to Artsakh in a police car. In fact, there were no weapons being transported and in addition the police officers were going from Stepanakert to their duty station on the road. The Azerbaijani sabotage group was ambushed in a wooded area by the road and attacked the car from there.

The attached photos show the scene and the damaged empty vehicle.

It is necessary to emphasize that as a result of the self-defense and restraining actions of the police officers and the soldiers of the Defense Army in the adjacent position, the Azerbaijani side also had victims and wounded, being thrown back to the exit positions,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs said in the message.
