Armenia launches a series of cross-border fire provocations against Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan on Wednesday accused Armenian forces of firing at its troops across the two countries’ international border on May 24-26.

"Starting from 24 to 26 May, the positions of the Azerbaijan Army stationed in Kalbajar and Gadabay districts were periodically subjected to fire from the enemy positions in the Gegharkunik region of the Republic of Armenia by the use of small arms," Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Defense said.

"At the same time, the Armenian side shot in the air in the direction of our posts located around the city of Shusha," the ministry added.

According to the Azerbaijani Ministry, its own forces had not returned fire and that there had been no casualties.
