The message spread by the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan that allegedly the units of the Defense Forces opened fire on 5 March in the direction of the Azerbaijani positions located in the occupied territories of the Shushi region of the Republic of Artsakh is another piece of misinformation.

The Ministry of Defense of Artsakh reported.

As we reported earlier, on 5 March, a subversive group of the Azerbaijani armed forces targeted and opened fire on the shift vehicle of the Police Passport and Visa Department, which left for the shift change from Stepanakert, in the area called “Khaipalu”, as a result of which 3 police officers were killed and 1 officer was wonded.
