Azeri soldier killed on frontline

A soldier of Azerbaijani armed forces, Mirzamuhammed Rushanov, has been killed in a ceasefire violation by Armenian troops, Azerbaijan's Defense Ministry told Trend news agency.

The incident took place Monday on the contact line of Azerbaijani and Armenian troops near the village of Yusifjanly of Azerbaijan's Aghdam region.

Armenia and Azerbaijan fought a brutal war that ended with the signing of a fragile cease-fire in 1994. About 20 percent of Azerbaijani territory has been occupied by Armenian armed forces since then.
