Armenian armed forces are shelling Azerbaijani Terter city using artillery installations, trend reports citing Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense.
The Armenian armed forces have been shelling the city of Tartar since 08:00 (GMT+4) on September 30. The preliminary data says that civilian infrastructure was damaged, several people were injured.
Armenian armed forces launched a large-scale military attack on
positions of the Azerbaijani army on the front line, using
large-caliber weapons, mortars, and artillery on Sept. 27.
Azerbaijan responded with a counter-offensive along the entire
front. As a result of retaliation, Azerbaijani troops managed to
liberate the territories previously occupied by Armenia:
Garakhanbeyli, Garvend, Kend Horadiz, Yukhari, Ashagi Abdulrahmanli
villages (Fuzuli district), Boyuk Marjanli, and Nuzgar villages
(Jabrayil district).
Moreover, the positions of the Armenian armed forces were destroyed
in the direction of Azerbaijan's Agdere district and Murovdag,
important heights were taken under control.
Military actions continued on Sept. 29. Azerbaijani army was able
to destroy several tanks of the Armenian Armed Forces, as well as
several key military facilities.
Azerbaijan's Dashkesan district underwent fire on the same day from
the opposing forces, while Azerbaijani Armed Forces continued
military actions on Sept. 29 to liberate the city of Fuzuli from
occupation.
Back in July 2020, the Armenian Armed Forces violated the ceasefire
in the direction of Azerbaijan's Tovuz district. As a result of
Azerbaijan's retaliation, the opposing forces were silenced. The
fighting continued the following days as well. Azerbaijan lost a
number of military personnel members, who died fighting off the
attacks of the Armenian armed forces.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a
result of the ensuing war, Armenian armed forces occupied 20
percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council
resolutions on the withdrawal of its armed forces from Nagorno
Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
