Armenian armed forces, located in Armenia's Berkaber village of Ijevan, Barekamayan, Dovekh villages and nameless hills of Noyemberyan region subjected to fire the positions of Azerbaijani armed forces located in Gizilhajili, Gaymagli, Kamarli villages and nameless hills of Gazakh and Krasnoselsk regions.

The enemy was silenced with a retaliatory fire.
In view of the operational situation, Azerbaijani armed forces carried out 186 strikes on enemy positions.
Armenia occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions, after laying territorial claims against its South Caucasus neighbor that caused a brutal war in the early 1990s.
Following the invasion of Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia established a separatist regime in the occupied territories and strives for recognition of the puppet regime from the international community.
As a result of the military aggression of Armenia, over 20,000 Azerbaijanis were killed, 4,866 are reported missing, almost 100,000 were injured, and 50,000 were disabled.
Long-standing efforts by U.S., Russian, and French mediators have been largely fruitless so far.The UN Security Council has passed four resolutions on the Armenian withdrawal from Azerbaijani territory, but they have not been enforced to this day.
