Artsakh Defense Army informs.

Azerbaijani media outlets have reported that artillery shells were fired at the Defense Army units retreating in the direction of the Red Market, resulting in heavy casualties. The Azeri propaganda machine, as usual, distorts the reality, trying to prove at all costs Ilham Aliyev’s ungrounded statement of  on taking Hudrut under their control.

The units of the Defense Army continue to confidently carry out the assigned combat tasks along the entire front. At the same time, the units of the Defense Army successfully stopped the attempts of the Azerbaijani armed forces, which did not follow the humanitarian ceasefire regime. The operation to blockade and destroy the penetrated subversive-intelligence group continues in the direction of Hadrut. The operative situation is under the full control of the Defense Army. We urge our compatriots to follow only the official news.
