Subunits of the Armenian Armed Forces shattered ceasefire with Azerbaijan in Gizilhajili village of Gazakh region, Tap Garagoyunlu village of Goranboy region, Garagashli, Shuraabad villages of Aghdam region, Gorgan, Ashagi Abdurrahmanli villages of Fuzuli region and nameless hills of Goygol, Jabrayil and Khojavend region on October 8-9.

The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported that the Armenians were silenced with a retail fire.

The conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia emerged over Armenian territorial claims over two decades ago. Since a war in the early 1990s, Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding regions. A fragile ceasefire has been in place since 1994, but long-standing efforts by US, Russian and French mediators have been largely fruitless so far. Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on its pullout from the neighboring country's territories.
